An easy drinking, crisp pale ale that is full of character. Expect bright tropical and citrus hop flavours on a light malt base with low bitterness.

Can. Adnams, Holkham. A pacific pale, you say? Clear gold. Decent lasting white foam. Looks well, at least. Thereafter it’s just pointless. Thin flavourless fizzy crap. The blurb is laughable.

Can at home picked up from the adnams shop Southwold, brewery tick only. A dull pale gold coloured pour with a loose white head. Aroma is green, stale cereal, spicy notes, stale bread, cheap lager vibes. Flavour is composed of light tangy, pale grains, cereal, chalky, green cereal,. Palate us thin grains, cereal, highish carbonation, light tang. Not sure what exactly the point of this beverage is. Dull AF. Seltzer water with vague hop flavour.

Tap at The White Horse, Balsall Common. Clear gold with small white top, decent lacing. Quite citric with a drying light bitter finish. Light bodied, refreshing .A bit one toned but a decent enough session beer.

Keg at the Flint Cottage, HWY, 16/08/24. Golden pour with a lasting white head, lacing ensues. Nose is airy malts, grass, melon, tangerine. Taste comprises citric sherbets, lemon rind, grass, soft malts, light breads, orange peel. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close splashed with very modest hop bitterness. Pseudo cask pale, weak and rudderless, had a pint of this and was bored half way through.
