175mL pour at brewery. Pours clear pale yellow with white head. Aroma is pretty light, maybe some minerals or herbal hops. Flavour has pale malts, herbal hops, minerals. Hop expression seems a bit jumbled, too much mineral. It's not great.

Poured from the tap. Clear-ish blonde with small white head. Biscuit malt, wet herbaceous hops with a touch of pine. Oddly decent.

Slightly hazy blond colour. Crisp and dry malt base, robust bitterness, the hop is more expressive in the aroma, a bit herbaceous in the flavour. Good Pale Ale, modern.

Pale gold, bright. Thin head. Lots of citra on the nose with some allium mosaic, too. On the palate, same. Very litterbox. Lots of pale malt. Lightish bitterness - I’d prefer more but all told nice balance.

On tap at Slow Hand, pours a clear golden with a medium white head. Aroma reveals piney hops upfront, with leafy bitterness, and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour is similar, with lots of piney hop goodness, highlighting the pine more than the hops, with a dry biscuity backbone. That pine is really very nice. Good stuff.

Caramel and leafy hops. Clear gold with a decent white head. Sweet, light caramel and some dank. Old school.

The aroma is muddy hops and rotting pineapple. Has a lightish clear copper body with little foam. Flavour is weak sweet hops, malt only if I really think about it. Mouthfeel is too watery. Too weak and subtle, not sure what they're aiming at.
