473ml can. Pours a slightly hazy copper with a small, foamy, long lasting, off-white head that leaves soapy curtains of lace. Sweet fruity aroma of caramel malt, grapefruit, papaya and piney hops. Sweet fruity flavour of biscuity pale malt, grapefruit, passionfruit and piney hops in a crisp, dry, bitter finish. Light body with an oily texture and average carbonation. Crushable and enjoyable.

Good cloudy copper body and nice foam. Musty pine aroma, slight biscuit, clean but a little soft. Taste is chewy caramel, pine hints, ending a little wet. Not bad, a little more oomph could make it really exciting.

On tap at Backroads, pours a clear copper with a small beige head. Aroma brings out gentle piney hops and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour is quite fruity, with some stone fruits, piney hops, and biscuity malt. Nice use of the hops — is that Amarillo? — very good pale.
