Mandarin Pale Ale
Associated with sunlight, wealth and vitality, mandarins are indisputably the most fortuitous fruit. Our superstitious hazy pale complements this symbol of abundance with a trio of pithy hops, Citra, Eclipse & Amarillo, to create a beer that radiates with fresh citrus aroma. Fleshy mandarin adds sweet juiciness to a soft, creamy mouthfeel of oats and wheat, finishing with palate-tingling zestiness.

Keg at Waterloo Tap. Hazy orange. Thin foamy white head doesn't provide full coverage. Aroma has citrus (more sour) amd porridge. Flavourwise it's sour with a bitter edge. Sweet hints and a chalkiness. Not as sweet as I would expect from Mandarin until I burp. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Decent.
