Clear amber beer, decent pale cream colour head. Palate is light, semi dry and crispy. Thin malts with a milky sweetness. Light ripe orange hops. Dry finish. Tastes tired, passable.

Bottle thanks to Liz and Ben! Pours a clear gold with a near white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a bit of light fruit with a decent amount of grass with a light grain and bread backbone. Flavor has grass and a hint of earthy citrus with a bread backbone.

A golden ale with a thick frothy lacing off white head. In aroma, grassy malt with light grassy hops, herbaceous character, so-so. In mouth, a sweet fruity malt with light grassy hops, light mineral notes, watery and boring. Bottle from Au Bon Marché.

Can on Virgin Australia. A bit on the bland side, amber colored body with spare airy head. Some metallic taste, not very bitter.

On tap. Pours amber with a medium pillowy head. Neutral nose. Some hops, some malts, but really only hinted at. Clearly a pale ale nonetheless.

345ml bottle from Appellation Wines. Pours clear gold, thick, rocky white head. Oranges and cream on the aroma, some earthy notes too. Taste is more orange, light caramel, bit watery though. Bitter on the finish, but a bit thin. OK.

Bottle at the RHCC, cheers to Nate, 06/09/14. Copper golden with a moderate off white covering. Nose is light citric peel, subtle hops, grass, bread dough, bitter orange. Taste follows, less depth. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, semi drying close with light hop bitterness. So so APA, the hops and trops don’t shine!
