A pale ale with spicy, grassy aromas and a taste of grapefruit and apricot. Undercurrent is part pale, part oats and part caramel barley. Her swirls of bold, bready and nutty malt whirl into a concoction of spicy, citrus, floral hops. Mystery lurks in those cascade and palisade hops. Her silky, creamy body will pull you under.

Bottle at home. Aroma is malt, dark bread, grapefruit, biscuits, some citrus, oats, herbal tea notes, some caramel, spicy hops. Flavour is light sweet and moderate to medium bitter. Body is medium, excellent smoothness and balance. Generally I do not like lots of malt in my APA, but when it’s oats or rye that’s a whole different thing! Great one!

Tap at Hopsmiths. Nice, soft and citrusy. Aroma is biscuity malt and lemon, bit grainy. Taste is good, quite easy drinking and light, but with a little thickness to it. Nice.

Ciezkie, karmelowe, przejrzalotropikalne, z dosc wysoka, zalegajaca i niezbyt sympatyczna goryczka. Slodkawe. To ma byc apa? Zero rzeskosci
