(Bottle) Pours hazy amber brown with big dense pale tan head. Lovely aroma, mainly pine with hints of citrus. Medium body with plenty of nice soft carbonation. Great taste, with plenty going on. There’s pleasant light toffee sweetness apparent at the start. Refreshing fruity flavours emerge and a replaced with a developing hoppy bitterness that lasts.

Big dirty bottle thanks to Big Dave. It pours black with a thick light tan head. The aroma is rich, juicy, sweet roast, pine, jammy fruits, sweet orange citrus, mango, passion fruits, treacle and Eccles cake. The taste is bitter, sweet roaste malts, cocoa, burnt pine, dried fruits, light spice, tar, orange peel and peppery spice with a lingering dry - bitter finish. Medium body and moderate, foamy carbonation. Pretty tasty.

Bottle from Tanakaya. Pours a clear gold with a finger of white foam that lingers. Pithy, resiny nose with some orange and grapefruit notes. Active carbonation, light bodied with a little graininess on the palate. Dry, bitter finish. Decent and just enough body to keep the low abv interesting. Good session APA.

Bottle shared at Craft Beer Co Clerkenwell - London. Cheers to Big Dave! Pours clear, reddish gold with a frothy, white head. The nose holds light grapefruit and pien. Light to medium sweet flavor, a little earthy, with bitter citrus rind and dry bread. Light to medium bodied with average carbonation. Moderately dry on the finish, with notes of citrus, bread and pine. Not bad.

Bottle from Tanakaya. Pours a clear, straw gold with a small white head that lingers throughout. Very nice lacing as well. Mango, passion fruit and peach on the nose with some light melon notes as well. Medium body with very soft carbonation. Toffee-like malts are there with good fruit forward hops, but not dominant. Very well-balanced and interesting take on a British pale. Lightly bitter finish with some piney, resinous notes.
