375ml can into glass. Christmas present. Pours a golden amber with a thin white head. Slight haze. Nose is ripe tropical fruit and caramel malt. Bitter, refreshing. Lingering bitter lemon finish. Very nice pale ale, more American than English.

330ml bottle shared with Soph next to the river for the first time this year. Pours a very pale greenish yellow. Sweet nose. Typically sweet for Aussie cider, floral with no natural flavours. Light sweet sipper overall. Fine, I guess.
