Bottle from Happy Apple, Totnes. Hazy amber coloured, and dank looking for it as it has next to no head. Despite this it has a pretty good pale ale texture with a nice dryness to what tastes like a mildly stewed hoppiness.

Bottle on holiday in Lyme Regis. Light haze on this gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is airy and semi dry, modest fine carbonation. The thin malts bring a honeyish sweetness. Mildly floral mid. Ripe citrus and citrus peel, orange and grapefruit. Quite a bitterish back end. Fine.
