50cl bottle drank at home on 17th May 2025 while doing a BBQ in the back garden. Light golden body, clean and clear; on top a white affair of tight bubbles. Not a lot of aroma or taste to be honest, all a bit wet and boring flavour wise, bottle claimed Centennial & Cascade hops were in the brew; little evidence in my glass. Hoped and expected more.

Cask-conditioned at the Bag O’Nails, Bristol 22/12/2016. Deep gold in colour, with a decent, white head. Tangerines and tropical fruit, and some citrus hops, with crisp, digestive malts leading to a dryish finish. Good.

Butelka 0.33l (10.2015). Piwo klarowne o zlotej barwie, klarowne z biala, lekko przybrudzona piana, niezbyt obfita. Jak na APA z takimi chmielami jak w opisie oczekiwalem chocby troche cytrusow czy tropikow a dostalem tylko nuty slodowe jak w lagerze. W smaku jest zaznaczona chmielowa goryczka ale znowu jakby to na polskich chmielach bylo, zero nut charakterystycznych dla ameryki. Jakbym pil mocniej nachmielonego lagera i do tego takie bez ciala, ze nie powiem wodnistego. To juz moje drugie piwo z tego browaru i kolejny zawod.
