Has good foam and a slight fog on yellow body. Good smells of hops, sharp malts, as a pale ale should be. Flavour is good crispness and dark bread notes, a bit of muddiness could be fleshed out. Good balance on the mouth between oil and water. It's a nice pale ale, leagues ahead of some beers I have found in Quito.

42nd Floor Tasting. Thanks to Colin. Almost clear paleish gold beer, thin white head. Palate is smooth and semi dry, modest fine carbonation. Grainy dry pale malts, trace of creamy sweetness. Light pine and citrus. Dry finish. Grainy and sat on, tastes very tired.

Bottle shared on the 42nd floor - thanks to Colin. Pours clear gold with a really white head. The nose has pale bread, lemon zest, tangerine. Light to medium sweet flavor with nips of melon, biscuits, hay. Light bodied with average carbonation. Light citrus fruits in the nose, more pale bread, low bitterness. Drinkable stuff.

Bottle thanks to Cloin. It pours clear golden with a small white head. The aroma is sweet, grainy, banana, candy and tinned fruit. The taste is bitter - sweet, cheap limeade, straw, mild acidity, tinned fruits and sugar with a dry finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Pretty unbalanced. Meh.
