Brewed with American West Coast style yeast along with Cascade, Centennial and Chinook hops. The low coloured Concerto malt provides a perfect light colour and dryness to compliment the crisp taste and full aroma of the hops.

Unclear golden color with a fine white head. Good intensity in the aroma. Medium body and an average carbonation level. Good balance between sweetness and bitterness. Citric, herbal, malty, pine and tropical flavor.

330 ml can, as Dark Star APA, from Ales by Mail. ABV is 4.7%. Overcarbonated, slightly gushing can, the glass fills completely by white foam. When the beer appears underneath, it is pale golden. The huge head lasts "forever". Strong and pleasant aroma of fruity and piney American hops. Distinctly hoppy flavour on a moderately sweet base, tropical fruits, grapefruit, pine needles and resin. Bitter finish.

Can. Cheap booze shop on Sharrowvale, Sheffield. Hazy gold. Good, dense, lasting, off white head. Sweet, soft toffee malts. Pithy orange hop. Some mineral. Hint of strawberry. Taste is light sweet, then mineral, pithy bitter. Light body. Foamy carbonation. Shortish, pithy finish.

On cask at The Vailant Trooper, Aldbury. Smooth floral beginning. Lots of smooth malt and floral intense hops. Sticky herbal pine and resin on a great Ale body. Fresh and dry in the aftertaste, round and smooth. Nice beer!
