Pours cloudy milky yellow with thin white foam. Citrus aromas, lemon, tangerine, pomelo. The taste is juicy, citrusy, with a distinct graininess of wheat. Light, refreshing, sessionable. Slightly bitter finish. Great beer for summer.

Can from Honest Brew. Pours a hazy gold, small tight white head, lovely retention and lacing. Aroma of stone fruits, pine, coconut, flora, slightly toasty. Taste is softer in character than the aroma suggested with grapefruit, coconut, orange but there is still some floral and pine resin, soft light bready notes, tangy and bitter in the finish rounds off nicely. Medium bodied, very smooth, soft carbonation. Excellent all round APA.

Cask at the Real Ale Classroom, city centre, Leicester. Light to mid-golden, hazy with an uneven white head. Always get a minty aroma from Talus, some dill, grasses, lemon cream. All of that stuff in the nose. More citrus in the taste, followed by herbal character. It's bittersweet, threatens to go proper bitter in the finish but loses its nerve and ends up quite creamy instead. Oop, theres the bitterness, right at the tail end of the sip but it is light. Substantial body for the ABV, light carbonation. Impressive.

Can. Hazy gold beer, big pale cream colour head. Airy palate, semi dry, decent fine carbonation. Fluffy malts, light as a cloud, a light creamy sweetness. The trio of modern hops bring a light crisp pine along with juicy Talus peachy citrus along with light zesty Azacca lemon and mandarin. Idaho 7 takes a bit of a backseat, but still comes through with a mild tropical fruits vibe. Airy crisp and semi dry finish. Whisper of hop skunk in the background. An assured pale ale from Arbor, delivers bags of hop character but with a light abv. Very good job, could drink this all night and might even have a chance of not talking shit at the end of it!
