As pale as a 100W light bulb but as juicy as an IPA. Session-able, quenching and totally addictive. Biscuity malt base with a hint of sweetness all drenched in fruity/dank hops.
Malt: Extra Pale Ale, Vienna, Oats, Caragold, Carapils. Hops: Simcoe, Centennial. Yeast: LalBrew New England.

Keg @ Alexandra Beer House, Halifax. Very hazed dankish-yellow with a thin head. It's a citrus-hoppy ale, evident in both aroma and taste with mild grapefruit and a grainy-hoppy aftertaste.

Sampled at Billies craftbeerfest 2017. Thnx for sharing, everyone ! Don't mind my visual info to much, as lighting was really terrible. Pours unclear yellow, small white head. Smell is creamy, wheat, bit spices. Taste is sharp, bit bitter, lemonzest. Fresh, bit too perfumed. High carbo, thin body.

APA from this acclaimed English craft brewery, first one to sample at Billie's Craft Beer Fest. Thick, creamy, snow-white, lacing head, hazy straw blonde-yellowish colour. Aroma of fresh orange peel, grapefruit, pink peppercorns, lime juice, dough. Fruity onset, quite vivid, orange freshness, light starfruit and lychee notes, passionfruit-like sourish accent, fizzy carbo, supple and bit oily mouthfeel; 'white bready' malt core, bit sweetish, long grapefruity hop finish, mild but aromatic, 'clean' (not at all dank) and very elegant. Nice, but could perhaps have been a tad maltier for this style?

(Thank you!) Sampled draft @ Billie's Craft Beer Fest 2017. Hazy golden, little white head. Nose is bit citrus, hay, doughy, low haze. Touch too yoghurt in taste & body for me but nice lower cheese, dry, hay, stone fruit. Nice but some of their other beers were a lot better.

Little hazy blond to yellow beer, big solid creamy white head, little stable, bit adhesive, leaving some lacing in the glass. Aroma: oh yes, lovely stuff, super fruity, citrus notes, mango, all tropical fruits, nice! MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: oh man, so super juicy, fruity hops, lovely stuff, citrus, some grapefruit. Aftertaste: little bitter, malty, citrus, soft acidity, lovely stuff.
