Some citrus / pineapple flavours hit the palate initially. This is followed by some malty sweetness. Not much bitter. Quite a reasonable effort at the pale ale.

(Bottle) I wasn’t expecting much of this, but found it really quite drinkable. Pours very clear coppery gold with a short lived thin white head. Has a lovely aroma of tropical fruits with floral and hop hints. Palate is pleasant enough: medium body with very slightly oily / creamy mouthfeel and lively but rather coarse carbonation. Flavour has an excellent start with tangy fruitiness with nice balancing sweetness. It loses its way a bit in the middle becoming rather thin, but finishes with quite decent bitterness. Overall, I certainly wouldn’t call it a great beer but I found it a pleasant, refreshing and readily drinkable one.

Pours amber with a small head.Nose shows tropical fruity, caramel and some spicy hops.Flavours are pretty sweet, lots of caramel. Also soft passion fruit. Pretty much not bitterness to balance it.Could use more carbonation.Apart from being cloying this wasn’t bad.

Pours gold with a small head.Nose shows grassy and spicy hops, skunky notes, grainy malt and lemon.Very similar flavours and quite clean, but with sweet bready malt prominent amongst more spicy hops. Somewhat plain, could use more bitterness.Needs more carbonation.

Bottle. Clear amber with a small white head. Aroma of butterscotch, honey, grass. A little watery. Taste has toffee, honey, some nuts, a very little tropical fruit. Vague bitterness creeps in at the end. A little thin and rather characterless, but drinkable.

From a 330ml bottle on 12/3/2011. Has a very slight aroma of malt and grains, and tastes like a typical pale lager, ie. dull. That said, it’s clean, inoffensive, and easy enough to drink.

From a 330ml bottle on 6/3/2011. Has a decent floral, fruity (tropical fruits) aroma. The flavours are relatively subdued, with some sweet caramel malt and tropical fruits evident. Moderately hopped. A reasonable pale ale (I think it’s American rather than English style) but a bit lacking in flavour and character departments.
