330ml bottle. Hazy orangey golden colour with small, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Citrusy hoppy aroma has notes of grapefruit, orange, mango. Taste is initially bitter hoppy and slightly citrusy fruity, later simply chalky bitter with hints of carboard; chalky, bitter, mineral finish.

Very hazy amber beer, small white head. Light dry palate, a little crisp. Dry pale malt. Odd mixture of hops here, grapefruit pith, subtle skunk integrated with soap and apple flavours. Astringent finish. Messy!

Bottle at home, from Sourced, 02/02/14. Murka-Haze orange light amber with a moderate off white head that stops to watch you. Nose is orange, light tropicals, bread dough, light toasty malt, faint floral tones. Taste comprises earthy minerals, orange pith, light dirt, faint apricot, grassy, dank hops. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, grassy closure with light tropicana. Decent golden blond, just a bit too light for an APA but not far off, good chalky mineral dankness about this one.

330ml bottle from Sourced, St. Pancras. Pours hazy gold with a thin white head. Good hop aromas, pineapple and grapefruit, some yeast. Taste has a good bitterness but an unfortunate cardboard note. Disappointing.

Bottle from Sourced Market St Pancras and drunk at home. Hazy amber with lasting white head. Some citrus hops on the aroma. Decent enough American hop led pale ale. Some fruit salad flavours. Some bitterness, but mostly a soft finish. Yep, decent pale ale. Quite tasty, a little muddiness, could be a little cleaner, but ok.
