Tap at Craft back in April. Pale amber orange colour with small white head. Aroma is fruity, tropical, mango. Bit of biscuity malt. Taste is lightly fruity, orange and more tropical stuff. Nice bitter finish.

From Dec 2006

Poured from 12oz can a clear medium gold witha large billowy head of foam. After a few minutes, it collapsed leaving "clouds" of foam mainly in the center of the glass and lots of nice lacing.

The smell is a light, but nice mix of bitter hops and sweet malt.

The taste is citrusy with notes mostly of lemon up front with a good side note of malt making for a bittersweet taste. The finish definitely leaves the malt behind as the bitterness dominates and for a nice dryness that is very crisp. Good APA!

Bottom line: Another very solid example of the style packaged in cans and should please most APA fans. Very drinkable!

Thanks to Nutbrown for this sample!

33cl can from AbeerVinum, Rimini, Italy. Pours an orange amber with medium white foam. Aroma is caramel, resinous... very nice. Body is average, maybe even a little light. Taste is equally nice, with a good bitterness supported by a fair sweetness. Finish is not particularly long, though it shows some additional persistent bitterness.

Strange caramelly nose. Palate was minerally and unbalanced. Modest bitterness. Not my thing

355ml can @ The ALB, Shrewsbury. Pours clear amber with frothy white head. Aroma is breezy citrus. Taste is quite easy-going with subdued / faded citrus hops, a touch of biscuit and a dry bitter edge. Ok.

0.33 can from Pivoteka, Zagreb. Shared with Višnja 666. Hazy, small lingering head. Floral hops dominating the aroma, malty background. Hoppy beginning malty finish - perfect balance. Light bitter aftertaste, very drinkable, medium body, soft carbonation. A superb example of a pale ale.

Can from Booths, Media City. Golden-amber with a frothy head. Not too dry in its texture, it’s fairly crisp, but certainly so with its tropical fruitiness.

Canned 355ml. -from Pivoteka Zagreb, shared with Marko. Darker orange/golden coloured, medium sized creamy off-white head, mild hops and herbs in the nose. Sweet malty, light caramel, fruity hoppy, slight grassy and touch of marzipan with rather sweet finish. Not the freshest version I guess.
