500ml bottle shared with Ash - Cheers! Pours clear gold, thin white head. Aromas are biscuit and fruit. Taste has more citrus bitterness, but light, and a more caramel sweetness. OK, but not really APA.

50cl bottle sample from brewer. Appearance - golden to amber with a nice fluffy head. Nose - apples, resin a hint of biscuits. Taste - oranges and resin. Some biscuity-ness in the background. Palate - medium bodied with a creamy texture and a fairly fresh finish. Overall - it started well and really it didn’t make me think of an American Pale style. It makes me think more of a Bitter or English pale ale.

Clear golden ale with a decent creamy head. Grapefruit aroma and a floral, pine edge to it too. Taste is grapefruit and hop with a very dry, bitter finish.
