Deadly Rhythm, by its very name, creates a graceful balance between Pacific Northwest hops and a blend of American and English malts. Floral and fruity hop aromas provide the introduction to the lightly toasted malt backbone of this beer. This American pale ale finishes dry with a smooth but lingering bitterness.

My first 7 quid pint; decent pale ale with aromas of fruit, hops, some pines - tastes similar, with a smooth finish. Enjoyed it.

Bottle from Total Wine. Golden in colour, with a thin, white, head. A very lively pour. Aroma of citrus hops and tangerines. Flavour had grainy malts, more citrus fruit and a dryish finish. Fine.

Super hazy peach and copper coloured body with a bronze glow and a super thick, frothy, seven centimetre tall tan head - very nice looking throughout. Aroma of fresh grassy and herbal hops with some resinous and lightly piney hop elements as well, some moderate sweetness and a nice biscuity malt. Light-bodied; Strong grassy and very perfumey hop bite at first that shows some fresh pepper and a dose of more bitter endives and rocket/arugula herbal qualities, also showing some mellow sweetness and a hint of honey in the middle. Aftertaste is dry, but on the very fresh side of the hops with the grass, pine and pepper all showing through and leaving a very and quite pungent kick near the end, but without any perceived alcohol, nor malt nor cloying qualities - very nice and light all around, but absolutely full of flavour. Overall, a very nice APA that is perhaps one of the best I've had in a long while. Sort of like a Light IPA, but this one shows more malt, a lot stronger bite and a more robust profile in all corners. Definitely worth trying if you like hops, well-executed beer styles or a beer that is slightly on the light-side, but heavy on flavours. I sampled this pint-sized, sixteen ounce can purchased from Total Wine in Fairfax, Virginia on 10-September-2017 for US$3,49 sampled at home in Washington on 24-September-2017, just two weeks later.

Can at home from solidfunk while watching Aussie Open final. Cloudy yellow orange. Nose is fruity and floral. Tastes of oranges, florals, toast, lemongrass, light malt. Easy drinking. Amazing match and glad to enjoy a beer while watching.
