Glowing orange colour. A beautifully balanced beer where the Pale, crystal and Munich malts really help amplify the hops juicy qualities. Layers of flavour: tropical fruit, citrus fruit, stinky cheese, caramel - all working together. Bitter and sweet. Lush.

On keg at Small Bar, Bristol. Pours hazy orange golden with a white top. Aroma: apricot, peach, orange, pine, fruity hops. Taste: moderate sweet, light bitter, tropical fruits. Flavour is a bit of a let down compared to the aroma. Medium bodied, soft carb, juicy light bitter finish

Keg from the Two-Tailed Lion, Leicester. Pale peach/orange and cloudy with a spotty white head. Lots of apricot, pineapple and a little banana in the aroma. Bitter hoppy taste throughout with a disappointingly short finish. Bitter citrussy hop oils on the back of the tongue afterward. Body feels a bit light for my taste but the carbonation lifts it. A good APA.

Can at home. The pour gave the most beautiful aroma of melon and mango with perhaps a touch of strawberry. The taste gave none of that and was a bit of a let-down. All very drinkable with well balanced malt and hops, but that was it.

28/3/2018. Can at Four Hops, Reigate. Pours hazy orange gold with a lasting off-white head. Aroma of juicy tropical fruit, orange, citrus, grass and flowers. Moderate sweetness, medium plus bitterness. Medium body, slight oily texture, soft carbonation. Tropical fruit bitterness to finish. Nice!

On tap at Hiver Malty Street Market. It's a lovely fresh tropical fruit citrusy pale ale. The finish is lovely. It goes on and on and reminds me of peach and apricot and mango. Slight metallic bitterness. As good as it gets. Lovely fruit. .

Sampled at Billies Craftbeerfest 2017. Thnx for sharing, everyone ! Don't mind the visual info to much, as lighting was really bad. Pours unclear blonde, no real head. Smell is sharp, fruity, tad bitter, grassy. Taste is sharp, floral, fruity, tad bitter, bit malty. OK
