180 ml bottle. Nose of rice, vanilla, a bit yamahai-like lacticity, melon, light peaches. Shiny, oily. Sweet and full, light booze, dry finish, a touch of cardboard. Somewhat thin and light, grapes, melon, nice fruit. Decent for the price but not hugely exciting.

Can from a convenient store. They call this an APA but there is no way it is. Glowing brown-orange, cloudy, with a medium head. Pretty but the wrong color for the supposed style. Nose is pine, caramel, chocolate. It maybe should be an American brown ale. Caramel malt flavor, creamy, strong bitterness, resins. Well made beer, but very old school and what are they thinking calling this a pale ale?

Bottle at home while watching Black Sails and paired with a handful of goldfish crackers. Thick milky pour with sediments. Nose is fruity and rice. Tastes of pears, coconut milk, plums, rice and some white pepper. Fruity yet dry finish. Touch of pepper. Thicker bodied.
