5-6% abv. Malted barley. Dry and light-bodied to better showcase the individuality of the hops in both aroma and flavour. A basic recipe is followed, with each batch utilising different hop varieties from around the world based on seasonality, availability, and the whims of the brewer.

5.2% version. Bottle from the brewery drunk at home. Cloudy hazy dirty amber brown with lasting off white head. Reasonably strong Simcoe aroma. Reasonably firm in the mouth. Some bitterness on the finish. Not exactly cat pee but it does remind me of a very light Weyerbacher Double Simcoe. Itโs like lime and grapefruit. Rather subtle, very balanced, poised. Rather good. I like itโs in 500ml too as it gives you more chance to sample it. A little sweetish toffee flavour.

Bottle at home. 5.4% on the bottle. Slight hazed pour with a golden orange colour with persistent with white head. Aroma is punchy orange blossom, lemon rind with a crisp chalky edge. Flavour is bready malt, but it clears the way for the hops. Hops are more orange and lemon zest. Assertive clean bitterness. Body is smooth mid body oaty. Finish is slight resin pine. Damn tasty beer.

Keg, Euston Tap. It pours cloudy amber with a small white head. The nose is fresh pine, sticky orange, marmalade, mango, tinned pineapple and some underlying sweetness. The taste is bitter pine, earth, zesty citrus, orange rind, marmalade, faint sherbet and a touch of resin with a dry, bitter finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Nice citrus, damn bitter and tasty. A classic kernel pale.

Bottled@Brew Wharf, London. Orangeish golden colour, small head. Aroma is fruits, wood, some floral hops as well as caramel malts and mild earthy notes. Flavour is quite similar with a very refreshing floral and fruity, with a slightly acidic touch to it. Well used hops here.

Bottle, courtesy of fonefan. A more or less clear one, golden in color and with an off-white head. Tropical aroma with some pale malts in the back. Dry, medium body. The flavor has peaches, pale malts and generic tropical fruits, as well as a good bitterness. Bitter, tropical fruity finish. A tasteful and easy drinkable pale ale. 110129
