Atlantic APA's cousin from the Antipodes. Same grain bill but hopped with the boldest Aussie and NZ hops for a herbal, resinous and fruity flavour.

Bottle at home, 16/09/16. Lightly hazed blonde to yellow with a well formed cap of off white bubbles. Nose is orange pith, mineral notes, citric tinged straw, lemon rind, hops, melon. Taste comprises tangerine, orange pith, chalky minerals, light bread, spice, lemon rind, toasted grains. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with earthy hop bitterness. Ok APA, goes down easily but could be cleaner and is a touch high on the mineral front for me.

Bottle. Market Row Wines, Brixton. Cloudy, dark straw colour. Film and a few bubbles of white. Nose has pink grapefruit. Grapefruit pith and peel. Some light sweet malts. Taste has some biscuit sweetness. Light, pithy bitter. Light body. A little watery. Some dryness on the finish, with a bit of lip stickage. Smells great, but tails off a bit.

330ml bottle @ Blind Tiger, Shrewsbury. Pours hazy gold with large white head. Aroma is lightly sweet malt. Taste is largely grainy malts with minimal hop action coming through. Faint glimpses of citrus fruits, but not too flavoursome. Not really an APA.

Bottle sourced from the London Beer Lab - London. Pours unclear gold with a frothy, pure white head. There are some citrusy hops in the aroma, hints of grain husk, rind, faint plastic, biscuit. Light-medium sweet flavor with crackery pale malts, white bread, lemon peel, mild flinty minerals, pine needles. Light bodied with fine to average carbonation. Finishes with relaxed bready pale malts, lemon and tangerine, light bitter pine needles, hay, biscuits. Pretty tasty and easygoing. One of Brixtonโs better efforts.

Bottle from Sourced Market St Pancras and drunk at home. Hazy gold amber colour lasting ivory head. Good hoppy beer. With some orange and tangerine fruit. Nice sweetish malty apa. Some creamy malt. Yes maybe just a bit too malty. But the hop fruit flavour is rather good.
