Draught @ Hagabion. Pours hazy pale golden with a small frothy white head that lowly dissipates while leaving a small trace on the glass. Smell is fruity, tiny floral and tiny herbal with crackers, pink grapefruit juice, passionfruit, pineapple, apricots, gooseberries, freshly cut grass, pine needles, lemon balm, lemon zest and hints of starfruit, black currant jelly and lemongrass. Taste is bitter and fruity with crackers, pineapple, pink grapefruit juice, passionfruit, very ripe gooseberries, apricots, starfruit, papaya, freshly cut grass, black currant leaves, lemon zest, pine needles, green grapes and hints of cedar-like resinous wood. Mouthfeel is crisp, dry, tiny astringent and light bodied. Finish is bitter and fruity with crackers, starfruit, passionfruit, gooseberries, black currant leaves, lemon balm, freshly cut grass, dried apricots, grapefruit rinds, lemon zest and pine needles. Pale ale perfection! --- Beer merged from original tick of Pale Ale on 30 Apr 2020 at 21:26. Original review text: Drinkable but dull. Requires summer weather.
