A new release that's also a timeless classic, huh. Can. Amber with a cm of white head. Aroma of mango skin, breadcrust, weeds, vague citrus. Lightish bodied, medium low carbonation. Fairly clean with just enough breadcrust to support the hops. Tropical flavours don't come through so much but the citrus is more clearly grapefruit and pine comes in at the fairly bitter end. Like their old pale ale but much better.

From a 440ml can on 18/1/2023. Pours a murky golden with a smallish head. Smells of cirtus, mango and white grape. All those present in spades on the sip. God I love Nelson Sauvin. Finishing with a lightly tangy, slightly spicy bitterness. Silky mouthfeel with moderate carbonation. Excellent stuff

Can. Yellowish orange with a cm of white foam. Aroma of orange, Meyer lemon, herbs, crackers. Soft textured, medium low carbonation. A lovely mix of sweet and edged citrus with slight tropical and herbal touches. Dry and just bitter enough at the end. Very nice and it is sessionable rather than merely lower in alcohol.

A throwback to when a pale ale had some guts, but a lot less subtlety. As it warms, you get a lot of mango aroma, plus lemon, pine, grass, a little spice and a good whack of bread. It has a nice body with a bitter, but not harsh, finish. It's a yes from me, Dawg.

Can. Misty palish gold with a cm of white head. Mixed citrus aroma with lemon, orange and grapefruit. Sherbety and tropical touches. Some light crackery malt behind. Lightish bodied. Clean firm pale malt with citrus, some tropical and peachy notes before decisive bitterness. Good, drinkable beer for a good place.
