Two hop varieties from New Zealand give his hazy pale its quenching citrus flavours and soft, pithy bitterness. Gyle 291.

Bottle at home in London - picked up at the brewery. The beer has been sitting in the fridge for six days, but it still pours an impressively murky, dark gold with a creamy, white head. Ripening citrus fruits in the aroma, some perfume, bready malts, a little yeast. Medium sweet flavour with more forward bready character, some crackers, low bitterness, jammy citrus, melon, orange, just a little pine. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Finishes with further sweetish, bready malts, mild piney bitterness, more ripe orange, tangerine. Not bad, but not great. Based on the reviews so far, I wonder if there is some keg/bottle variance here.

Keg at Cronxbar. It pours cloudy golden - orange with a small white head. The aroma is fresh, very juicy, creamy, tropical fruits, peach, apricot, mango, candy and some weedy dank notes. The taste is smooth, restrained bitterness, bready malts, quite juicy, orange, zesty, apricot, tangerine, cream, pine needles, straw and grass with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate, foamy carbonation. Well rounded, juicy and high drinkable. One of their best pale ales in recent memory. Tasty.
