Bottle at home, from Realale.com, 14/09/13. Happy to have tracked this one down at last ! Almost clear light goldenwith a good sized froty off white head. Nose is light grapefruit, juicy hops, touch of mango, faint soapy backnote. Taste comprises juicy hops, light pine, orange pith, mineral bite, mango, graefruit, toasted malts. Medium bodied, a little overcarbonated and prickly on the palate which lets the overall drinkability down a little. A really decent APA - just a litte overcarbonated for my liking.

330ml bottle from Ales by Mail
Pours yellowish orange with a small head. Aroma of crisp fruity hops, citrus, lemon, resin and exotic fruits. Taste is hoppy, lingering bitter and fruity with notes of exotic fruits, biscuity malts and citrus. Finish is grassy, bitter and hoppy with crisp fruits and citrus. A bit stuffy, but tasty pale ale.

330ml bottle from Sourced Market, St Pancras. Pale yellow body, unclear. Lasing white lacing-head. Inviting aroma of peaches and mango. Fresh flavours of tropical fruits on a backbone of pale malts. Grapefruit bitterness to the ending. A pretty nice one (shared with Richard and Stefan, University of Leeds 01.07.2013).

330ml bottle. Filmy to cloudy golden colour with small to average, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Superb citrusy fruity hop aroma has notes of pineapple, grapefruit, mandarine. Taste is minimally dry, fruity hoppy, notes of pineapple, grapefruit, mandarine, a minimally chalky, metallic, mineral touch. Very drinkable, light, refreshing. Excellent stuff.

Aroma: Stunning aroma - grapefruit, lemon, orange, pale malt and a hint of flowery soap.
Appearance: Hazy pale golden body with a medium white head. Light carbonation. Good lacing.
Taste: A lovely ’fruit salad’ beer - sharp lemon, sweet tangerine and tangy lime. Powerful flavours but the overall taste is still light fresh.
Palate: Medium body with a watery, slightly oily texture. Soft carbonation.
Overall: A fantastic American Pale Ale - one of the best I’ve tried. Simcoe and Citra are two of my favourite hops.

Bottle at home in London - picked up at the brewery. Pours clear gold, highly effervescent, with a large, pure white foam head. The aroma holds a lot of fresh and clean citrus fruits, tangy tangerine and mandarin orange, some pee, hay. Light to medium sweet flavor with nicely balanced bitter citrus rind, some juicy lemon and tangerine, mellow flinty minerals, some pine needles, just enough sweet pale malts. Light bodied with average carbonation. Crisp and super clean to finish with a bit more piss, nice tangy tangerine, some lightly dried pale malts, faint resinous pine, hints of grapefruit. Delicious. Wonderfully drinkable.

Hazy gold beer, little white head. Smooth airy palate, semi dry with fine carbonation. Smooth malt base, thin but creamy. Nice hops - pithy orange and lemon with mellow grapefruit and a whisper of skunk. Finishes airy and dry. Tasty!

Bottle from Sourced Market I guess as it was with a load of other beers from there. Don’t you just love it when you are going through a box of beer and find something you didn’t know you had? Clear pale gold until a little yeast went in. Lasting white head. Lots of both hops on the aroma. Simcoe really comes through. Very tasty APA. Not overly bitter, not overly full in mouth. Disappears quickly so must be decent.

Bottle at home from the brewery on Saturday. Aroma is lush juicy fruit, lychee and white wine. Pale golden colour, slight haze. Thin persistent white head. Flavour is dusty grainy malt, clean sharp grapefruit bitterness. Hop flavour is less fruity than the aroma. There is a grape skin character in there. Palate is soft medium carbonation, slightly thin. Good beer.
