375ml can from Beer52. Slight haze, yellow pale with a small white head, nice retention. Aroma is citrus, passionfruit and a slight earthiness. Light bodied but with a nice carbonation zing to it. Taste is clean with citrus, grapefruit and slight pine. Moderate bitter finish. Nice and refreshing and although it could have more flavour, I did enjoy this.

Ce cœur, pale ale de la brasserie Hop Nation manque quelque peu de générosité et de nervosité même si les arômes sont plutôt agréables. Le visuel est sur un blond jaune quasiment sans mousse et avec une faible effervescence. Le nez est sympathique sur les fruits exotiques, les agrumes, la pêche et de légères herbes. L'attaque est plus épicée. L'amertume est bien dosée mais la douceur est trop marquée. La deuxième bouche manque nettement de vivacité avec un alcool à 4,6 % insuffisant et une amertume qui peine. L’arrière-bouche est légèrement plus vive sur une complexité honorable. La corpulence est relativement bonne. Le final est moins épicé et herbacé sur une longueur moyenne. On aurait apprécié un peu plus de vivacité.

Solid pale ale with a nice nose. Aromas of grapefruit and pineapple give way to a simple, grapefruit taste. Nice but not spectacular.

Pretty decent light ale, which pours a clear pale straw with a small bubbly white head, and hints of floral and citrus hops in the aroma. The mouthfeel is pretty heavily carbonated, quite zingy and zesty, with lemon & lime and floral flavours being carried along very nicely, champagne-like almost, with some dry bitterness in the finish

Large foamy white head left a froth on an unclear pale gold body. Bitter hoppy aroma. Medium bodied, well carbonated & clean on the back. Peach, melon, hoppy & citrus tastes. Easy going.

26/1/2021. Can sample courtesy of SHIG, cheers. Pours clear pale gold with a bubbly/frothy off-white head. Aroma of sweet tropical fruits, citrus, flowers, grass. Quite heavy sweetness, light bitterness. Moderate body, watery texture, soft carbonation. Too sweet for my liking.

Panda at home, thanks to SHIG, 20/01/21. Pale golden blonde with a decent white cap. Nose is citric sherbets, tangerine, grass, melon, airy malts. Taste comprises orange zest, grass, light pine, melon, light grapefruit. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close splashed with balanced hop bitterness. Tidy enough pale.

[375ml can from Beer52.] A slightly hazy straw coloured pour with a loose white head; citrusy aroma with a touch of farmyard; rather acidic taste that's not particularly pleasant; then a dry and sour finish. Not great.
