750mL growler filled 8/11/16, drunk 9/1/16 and a glass drunk at the brewery on 8/11/16.
Large, white head, with strong retention, tops a thoroughly hazy, bronze-golden body.
Honeysuckle, tangerine, nectarine, lemon and a strong spiciness, lightly reminiscent of Galaxy (though lighter than that) comprise the nose. A hint of mineral and very light white grape, with more wildflower and tangerine. Bizarre and awesome, with biscuity and crackery malts sparsely providing balance in the nose and no alcohol or flaw noted.
Stronger tropical fruits in the mouth, with lots of peach/nectarine and tangerine-guava. Bitterness is crisp and assertive, but doesn’t build up/fatigue. Light white grape, lots of biscuit and mineral and light lemon, spice and tangerine lingering. As usual with this series, and Shaun’s pale ales in general, very elegant, cerebral stuff without any forcefulness/flashiness.

Swing-top shared with the fellas down at The Kernel, London. Pours cloudy, matte yellow with a perfect, white froth head. Bit of salty pee in the nose, dank citrus. Light to medium sweet flavor, grass, light urine, ripe lemon, light grapefruit, tangerine. Light to medium bodied with average, creamy, gorgeous carbonation. Finishes with a bit more gritty grass, light earth, but still lots of juicy citrus. Wonderful APA.

Growler @ Dan’s house, thanks to Steve O. Pours a hazy dark orange appearance with a light tan head. Somewhat zesty, grapefruity, floral, herbal aroma. Somewhat chewy, cracker, zesty fruity, orange citrusy dull flavor. Maybe my least favorite from HF
