Hazy gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Smooth palate with decent fine carbonation on the trailing edge. Almost silky pale malts, nice light sweetness, trace of malt cream. I'd be pushed to identify Nelson in this one, but then that hop is a sad pale shadow of what it used to be. Citra is much more obvious, a little fresh orange and tangerine with a crisp orange peel underneath providing a modest bitterness. Smooth pine runs throughout and is very well integrated. Light finish leaves more of that orange peel bitterness. Just a very well crafted and smooth pale ale and I could drink it all night.

6/VII/19 - 50cl bottle from the brewery @ home, BB: 11/X/19, bottled: 11/VI/19 - (2019-984) Thanks to Thomas M. for sharing the bottle!
Bit cloudy bright yellow to beige beer, big creamy irregular off-white head, stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: lots of dank hops, some citrus, sweaty feet, bit cheesy. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: bit sweetish, then lots of fresh hops, citrus, dank, very bitter, some grapefruit, cheesy touch, some onions. Aftertaste: very bitter, bit resinous, dank hops, some marijuana, lovely stuff, dry, hoppy, love it!
