A bit disappointed on this one, it’s pretty much just a malt bomb with little going on. Expected some hops at least and I know for sure that Great Leap can do better.

Vom Faß ("handpump") im GLB # 45. - Goldbraun, fast klar; leichte Schaumdecke. - Nase schwach karamellig, zart fruchtig, Anklänge an erdigen Hopfen. - Antrunk mild karamelmalzig mit angenehmer Malzbittere, ganz dezenter Hintergrundsüße und mild erdig-zitronigem Hopfen mit zart floraler Note. Ganz schwach rezent, da ohne Kohlensäure gezapft ("handpump“), dadurch enorm süffig. Mild erdig-hopfenbitterer Nachtrunk. - Als Pale Ale untypisch, da malzbetont und sehr mild (aber aromatisch) gehopft. Sehr rund ohne fade zu sein. Einen Pluspunkt gibt’s für die Verwendung chinesischer Rohstoffe, die geschmacklich durchaus überzeugt (also kein Mitleidsbonus).

1L growler @ wPBF Ⅲ. Thanks omhper!
Aroma is sweetish with fruit candy. Flavour has strawberries, peachy tones and minerals. Not as hoppy as I’d expect APA to be, but nice still.
