Can, picked up from M&S, chugged sat on the steps outside of Dublin castle, 06/11/23. Golden orange topped with an off white head. Nose is grass, grapefruit, melon, tangerine. Taste comprises orange zest, papaya, mandarin, citric tinged straw. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spiked with balanced light juicy hop bitterness. Tidy enough easy drinking pale.

330ml can from Tesco Supermarket somewhere in the ROI - cloudy yellow body with no head. Grassy character all the way through, Citra hop not too strong, and a bit washed out. Okay though.

Almost clear pale straw yellow. Porous, quickly dissipating head. Very clear lemon drop nose with some bready notes. High carbonation in the mouth, nice hit of lemon carrying over to midrange and aftertaste. Just right sweetness, very clear hops. Refreshing and interesting.

330ml can. Opalescent, yellow-ish, golden colour with small to average, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Citrusy fruity and minimally grassy, hoppy aroma, slightly spicy, biscuity, pale malty basis, hints of lemon, old lemon peel, lemongrass, salty cracker. Taste is moderately bitter, citrusy fruity and minimally grassy, hoppy, slightly spicy, pale malty basis, hints of lemon, old lemon peel, lemongrass, salty cracker. Slightly oily, watery texture, slightly dry palate, medium, mildly prickly carbonation. More spicy than fruity, fairly refreshing - OK.

Clear light golden. Aroma is light honey bonbon lime floral hops. Taste is sweet malt and floral hops with little bitter counterpoint. Minerally crispy mouthfeel. Alright.

Tight off white head on a murky brown coloured body - strange looking Pale. Zesty aroma with bubble gum & floral. Medium bodied, smooth with a foamy back. Bitter / Sweet citrus, malt, marmalade, dank & bubble gum tastes with a nectarine finish. Good one.

Part of their variety 4-pack of hoppy brews. Slightly unfiltered, light golden with a white frothy cap, average retention and minimal lacing. Nice fresh herbal aromas with a touch of cilantro. The taste shows again, nice grassy hops with hints of citrus. The mouthfeel is refreshing with a nice mild dryness building in the end. The is even a little tang, spiciness. Quite a nice easy-drinking, light Pale Ale.
