Bottle at home London - big thanks to Tim for trading me this one! Pours cloudy yellow-gold with a large, frothy pure white head. Lots of juicy citrus on the nose, some lychee or something, mild pee and grapefruit. Light to medium sweet flavor with lightly bready pale malts, delicate cat pee, more grapefruit, lemon, some tangerine. Light bodied with fine to average carbonation. Well balanced on the finish with further bready pale malts, grapefruit, mandarin orange, hints of pine needles. Lovely beer. Effortlessly drinkable.

Random insertion of a continent into a beer name, with no obvious connection. Hazy golden color, thick white head., solid lacing. Aroma of fruity citrus. Taste is bitter lemon.

Tap at Popeye, Tokyo. Opaque yellow colour with a small quickly vanishing head. Weak citric hop aroma with malt and wheat. Flavour is mild hops, citrus, orange, fruits.

light golden color. Lots of tropical fruit and brimming with hops. Not much backbone. A fun, light refreshing pale ale that doesn’t take Itself too serious. Really enjoyed this beer. Hope to see it again.

Draught at Snow Monkey Craft Beer Live. Bright, clear golden color. Aroma of catt piss, grass, hey, grapefruit zest. Woody, with light malts. Clean, crisp and light with low malt, low sweetness, good drinkability, and strong hops.
