Reviewed from notes.
Bottle to becher glass.
Appearance: yellow pale to semi-clear color with a one finger white foamy head which dissipated at a good pace to leave some light lace
Aroma: citrusy, piney and floral hops with a nice clean malt bill
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to a nice bittersweet quality; finishes citrusy and malty
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable, light smoothness. Just a tad of hop bitterness edging over the tongue
Overall: good APA worthy of coming back to.

Poured from the tap @ Alesmith. Clear gold with small white head. Mild biscuit malt, soft citrus and pine hops. Everything is a bit subdued, but inoffensive. Decent.

Appearance is amber with a slight haze, a small foamy clingy white head. Aroma is lots of pithy stone fruit, orange, stewed fruit, mango, caramel hints. Taste- pineapple, mango, hops, grapefruit hints, stone fruit, toffee and caramel undertones with a trace of biscuity malt.

Tap at Mikkeller Bangkok. Poured a clear golden colour with a lasting frothy white head. The aroma is malt, light citrus, piney hop. The flavour is moderate bitter with a light, crisp, fresh, malt, citrus fruit, dry woody hop bitter palate and a long bitter finish. Medium bodied with average carbonation.

0.355l bottle. Slightly murky golden body with a somewhat loose white head. Aroma and taste of grapefruit, pine, bready malts and lemon zest. Simple APA, but very well brewed.

A light yellow beer, a head is medium and blond. Aroma has complex citrus, some caramel, hint of grain. Taste has the same elements, grapefruit, citrus, some caramel, enough of bitterness to keep balance with sweetness. Medium bodied. Again the great balance as the Alesmith can do it. Very good beer.
