Bottle - Thanks to mullet for bringing this over from Australia!
Nose of some spices (coriander), honey, fruits (grapefruit, apples), caramel, grain. Reminded me somewhat of apple juice, but not in a bad way (i.e. not too sweet). Very well balanced aroma. Remarkable, moderately bitter flavour, which lasts quite long. Because the bitterness is accompagnied by some astringy hints, I’m not completely fan of it, but still it’s my best American Pale Ale so far. I think I could like it more when I’ve had another one (or two).
