Rescue Ale contains a pleasant and aromatic blend of tropical passion fruit, thanks to the addition of Citra hops, which contributes an abundance of grapefruit, pineapple, gooseberry and juicy citrus flavours. Idaho 7 hops lends to the background bitterness. This well crafted light amber pale ale finishes clean, is easy to drink and is well balanced with a medium hop aftertaste.

On tap. Pours a clear copper-amber with a medium, creamy, long lasting, ecru head that laces nicely. Sweet aroma of grainy pale malt, indistinct tropical fruit, orange peel and pine. Sweet flavour of biscuit malt, caramel, orange peel, pineapple and pine resin with a dry, bitter hop finish. Light body with a thin texture and average carbonation. Ok.

650ml bottle at Brian's office. Pours a slightly hazy golden with a weak white head. This one is meh, not very offensive.

Hazy, light amber, a bit dull. Not much head. Thin. Not that good. I would say that this has a touch of leafy hop, a touch of caramel malt. It's not that it is poorly made -- I think it's respectable but after so many great beers it was never going to hold up.

650mL bottle, pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out biscuity malt and light piney hops. Flavour is dry, with biscuity malt and very subdued and somewhat stale hops. Pretty ordinary, with not a whole lot of interest here. Meh.
