(Can) Hazy amber colour with frothy, tan head. Hoppy nose with notes of orange peel, pine needles, apricots and toast. Hoppy, malty taste with orange peel, apricots, toast, pine needles, caramel, treacle-toffee and a generous citric/piney bitterness in the finish. More than medium body, with a slight sweetness. Tasty, hoppy and well balanced. Very nice.

Re-rating (previous 7.3) Review based on the BJCP2021 guidelines (style 18B). Can 35 cl - Batch 16 (BB: not declared - Canned on: 112724). AROMA: medium-low hop aroma (pine, slight ripe cantaloup melon) supported by medium malt character with slight toffee notes. slight ripe orange. APPEARANCE: deep gold color and clear. medium moussy ivory head with average retention. TASTE: medium-low fruity notes similar to the aroma (ripe melon, orange), followed by medium-low malt (toffee-like). medium-high bitterness that lingers beyond a medium-dry to dry finish. balance towards the hops and bitterness. PALATE: medium-light body with medium carbonation. OVERALL: a nice american pale ale example with the balance tilted towards hops.
