6.1/10 Appearance 6 Aroma 5 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 7.5
Keg at the brewpub. Aroma vaguely sweet and herbal if verging on non-existent. Clear amber. White head primarily retreats to the rim. Medium bitter. Herbal. Citrus sourness. A soda water streak. Hints of underlying cardboard. Light. Thin. Watery. Average carbonation. Long dry slightly astringent finish. You could tell this was lower ABV by tasting it but crisp and refreshing.

6.2/10 Appearance 6 Aroma 5 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 8
Keg at the brewpub. Aroma has light citrus and porridgy. Hazy-opaque gold. Foamy white head. Light-medium bitter. Slightly resinous alongside stone fruit and citrus. But all rather muted. Medium bodied. Slick. Soft carbonation. Long dry slightly astringent finish. Pretty boring. Brewery describes it just as a Pale Ale but seems more like a blan Hazy Pale Ale to me.
