Big on refreshment, this easy drinking tropical pale ale pairs a light body with big tropical hop notes of passionfruit & melon, with a clean, fresh finish. Dry hopped with Galaxy and El Dorado for maximum aroma and pouring light straw in colour.

345ml bottle from National Brewery Centre, Burton on Trent. Golden colour, white foam head and aroma of tropical fruits. Taste is sweet, malty, grainy, with some tropical fruit notes and light hoppy bitterness. Light bodied, soft carbonation, drying finish. Quite OK

Pours with little foam, boring yellow, smells like sweet hops with very faint guava juice notes. Flavour is soft sweet hops, faint malt notes. Rather watery. Way too weak to be interesting for anything.

Tap at the JS Brewhouse in Melbourne. Pale golden, white lace. Low on tropical notes, or any really Quite bland pale ale. Weird I remember the basic swindler to be more flavorful
