Can shared in London - sourced from the brewery. Pours clear gold with a fluffy, white head. The nose has some ripening citrus, tangerine, orange, pale bread, some pale grain, pine. Light-medium sweet flavour with touches of white grape, some pale biscuit, more tangerine, a little pine. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Nicely balanced finish, a little resinous, with a bit more pine, pale bread, citrus rind. Great stuff.

Can shared. Thanks Kaori and Jon! Pours a clear gold with a finger of foam. Super dank nose with lemon and green leaves and herbs. Light body, crisp and clean on the palate. Light peach and green pineapple as it warms. Big, prickly bitterness on the finish. Very straightforward dank and green bitter pale ale. --- Beer merged from original tick of Broken Spoke (2016) on 15 Oct 2016 at 19:49 - Score: 7. Original review text: Very green. Good bitterness.

Slightly hazy golden color. Big fresh hoppy nose with lots of muscat, lime heady nose. Slightly sweet nose, but not too bitter. The mouth is super hoppy, not overly bitter lots of lime, buscuit and very dank. Modestly bitter finish. Very hoppy pale ale. I would say more towards an IPA.
