Can from Beerdome. Aroma is piney hop, pale malt, citrus, grapefruit, pine resin, orange, hint of caramel. Flavour is light sweetish and moderate to medium bitter. Body is medium. A fine classic piney APA.

Lacks the malty base of a classic APA and the hoppy punch of a new-school pale ale, so it comes across with a bit of an identity crisis. Mild notes of citrus, tropical fruit, and a touch of honey, with no real hop bitterness on the back end. Meh.

Can, 0.473l. Aroma of citrus, flowers and resin. Pours clear golden color with thin creamy white head and soft visible carbonation. Taste starts juicy tropical and stone fruity, following is citrusy, slightly bready and herbal, mouthfeel is smooth, while finish is average bitter. Medium body, oily texture and lively carbonation in palate. Charming the charlatans…

Can picked up from Beerdome, webshop, Grootegast, Netherlands and consumed at home Saturday 20th February 2021 listening to BillyNomates self titled album and about to cook Mountain Meatballs and Burgers, it's American weekend. We did a 48km cycle ride to Mainburg and back via Nandlstadt. Pours light gold actually I take that back, Loz has more left than me and it's clearly warm gold, with a slight haze, bitterness. Dry a little perfume edge, a tiny numbing on the outside edge of my tongue. A little citrus, good.
