Light haze on this gold - amber beer, decent pale cream colour head. Palate is light and slightly soft, mild fine carbonation. Smooth malts, a light creamy sweetness. Mellow but nice Nelson Sauvin hops, grape, gooseberry and a generic tropical fruit tang. Very mild bitterness develops in the semi dry finish. Hangs together well enough, a mild but tasty pale ale.

Poured into a taster showing dark amber and no head. The nose shows a slightly cooked aroma (off?!). The palate is softly carbonated and medium bodied. Flavors of kiwi and malt on the attack with more sweeter malts on the attack and a linger of kiwi and light tropical fruits of pineapple. Barely any perceivable bitterness but I should probably rerate this in the future.

Bottle from Tanakaya. Pours a clear deep gold to orange with a small off-white head. Wonderful tropical fruit nose with mango, passion fruit, papaya and pineapple. Taste is fairly dry with soft carbonation. Fruit flavor lingers with a good pithy bitterness. Dry finish. Solid. --- Beer merged from original tick of Sauvinova on 14 Oct 2015 at 21:28 - Score: 8
