Draught at the brewpub. For some reason I thought they had handpumps here - did that change? Golden and a bit hazy. Has a mellow hop character with a light bitterness, a light malt with a bit of toastiness.

(Bottle - says 5.4% ABV, 45 IBU). Slightly hazy amber brown with big persistent light tan head. Pleasant distinctive aroma; mainly pine, but with citrus notes and caramel hints. Medium bodied with plenty of carbonation, maybe a shade too much. Taste is hops all the way, although not in an overwhelming way, just the flavour is hop driven from nice herbal and spicey notes at the start to some decent hoppy bitterness in the finish. In the mid palate there’s some balancing caramel toffee. Nice hop driven pale ale.

(Bottle - says 4.4% ABV and 18 IBU). Slightly hazy golden yellow with good small white head. Subtle pleasant aroma with notes of bread, grass, pepper. Surprising palate - soft and creamy. Taste is similar to aroma - bread, some peppery spice but with some fruity, mainly citrus notes, in the background. The peppery spice remains into a reasonably bitter finish. Very drinkable.
