A- Pours a crystal clear gold with thin layer of head that quickly disappears.
S- Very nice hoppy scent with seemingly a little bit of everything in there. Grassy, little floral.
T- Taste is a little piney with some grassy/earthy qualities. Well balanced with the malt. Nice lightly bitter/hop finish
M- Light to medium body with medium carbonation.
O- Very good pale ale without much to complain about. Everything is a little above average in my opinion and I would definitely buy this again.

Sample from bottle, at Vectura-messe, Deep golden colour. Fruity and piney American hops in aroma and flavour. Bitter aftertaste, nearly an IPA. Okay.

Nitro version - obviously looks spectacular with a warm caramel body and ultra dense creamy white froth. Nose suffers from the nitro - faint citric perfume sums it up. Evenly balanced between caramel malt and citric/floral hops. Soft and subtle from the nitro with a clean finish. I would like to see this around in the non-nitro version, though this is fun as the occasional change-up.
