ABV: 5.0%

IBU: 32

Ticks: 6

Modelled on the refreshing West Coast USA pale ales. Light and golden in colour. Dry & zippy on the palate. Packed with super fruity US hops which lend aromas. Oozing a fine late-hop aroma. Tangerine and tropical fruit notes, think passion-fruit, pineapple and gooseberries with a hint of pine resin.

Keg draught at the Woodville, Cathays, Cardiff. Mid-gold and hazy with a large and slightly loose white head. Gorgeous little aroma: mango, pineapple, papaya. Taste is less enticing, as the sweet tropical flavours are kept in abeyance by something else. Its hot a dirty metallic taste to it that I just can't get into. Yeah, I can take or leave this.

Keg from the brewery. It pours clear golden with a medium foamy white. The aroma is sweet, bright tropical fruits, tangy refreshers, sherbet, mango and fruit smoothie. The taste is dry, bitter, pithy, zesty, pine, floral, oily, tannin, tropical fruits, mango, apricot and resin with a drying finish. Average body and moderate carbonation. Not bad.

Keg @ The Cornerhouse, Chester. Pours a misty gold, small white head. Aroma has pleasant fruity citrus aroma. Taste is good, balanced West Coast pale territory, fresh and zesty with smooth tropical fruit notes. Decent.

On tap at the cardinals hat, Lincoln. Slight haze on this golden coloured beer. Tropical fruity aroma. Taste light sweet to light bitter sweet with a fruity juicy finish. High carbonation.
