Pours amber with a quickly fading head.Faint aroma, some vegetal notes, soft malt, cardboard and grainy notes.Nice sweet malt as a flavour, but it doesn’t last long and the extremely low bitterness makes for a very weak finish.Needs more carbonation. Feels watery.

Bottle. Orangish amber with a small white head that lasts OK. Modest aroma is fruity with citrus, stone and slight tropical notes, a little caramel. Slightly creamy texture, medium bodied. Sweet with stone and slight tropical fruit and caramel, a little vague citrus, moderate bitterness is slightly peppery at the end. Sound but uneventful.

From a 330ml bottle on 18/11/2012. Pours a clear golden with a small head that disappears quickly. Has very little nose, with just some very slight mineral and grain notes. The flavour is a little better but still quite uninspiring with a hint of sweet citrus and a very mild bitterness. Pretty bland stuff (go the Monkey’s Fist Pale Ale in this series, which is much better).

From a 345ml bottle on 28/10/2012. Pours a clear light golden with very little head. Has a light fruity,slightly floral aroma. The flavour is mainly sweet citrus, stone and tropical fruits (orange, apricot and mango), which is set offf by a medium bitterness. This is nothing remarkable, but is none the less quite a drinkable APA, which I could enjoy over a session. Fat Yak and JS 150 Lashes are probably the nearest reference points, but this is more enjoyable out of the bottle IMO.

On tap at the Sail & Anchor, Fremantle April 2012. Jet black with a slight, off-white head. Sweet porridge oats and dark fruits, leading to some milk chocolate and a slightly roast finish. Ok, if a bit cold.

At the Sail & Anchor, Fremantle April 2012. The cheapest beer of my Australian (at 7 Dollars). Utterly inoffensive, and certainly a slight improvement on the likes of Hahn.
