Commercial Description:
The blending of Munich & pale malts give this pale ale a full bodied flavour & a beautiful amber colour. Specially selected hops add a tangy bitterness & a crisp floral aroma to the brew, and it is served unfiltered directly from the cellar tanks to the taps.

Claims to be pale ale but more like yellow water, sweet lemon flavours, very metalic. Tasting tray from Kings Wharf Sydney.

Tried on tap at JS Brewhouse Sydney. Pale golden body with short head. Tastes a little flat, a little fruity (grapefruit) ,unfiltered and yeasty.Still I knocked it back easy enough.

Draught at the brewhouse (pint). Arrived a orangey bronze with a small, creamy, white head which was mostly lasting. Aroma was of toffee malts, creamy caramel, floral hops, lightly burnt butter and a touch of marmalade. Flavor was a decent bitterness with light toffee, sweet malts, faint orange citrus, hints of apricots and a bitter metallic finish. Medium bodied with soft carbonation, a watery texture, dry mouthfeel and a good finish.

Didn’t realise this was supposed to be an American pale when i tried it at the brewhouse! It’s actually quite a good beer, more like a fruity best bitter than an APA great zesty nose without much body or flavour

Tasting tray at brewpub Pale straw cloudy - almost like mashed pears. Milky thin head. Soft short bitterness, would probabky be a reasonable beer but the look just kills it for me.
