500 ml bottle, from SPAR Hana. ABV is 4.5%. Brewed with Amarillo hops. Clear golden colour, moderate white head. Moderate aroma of fruity hops, some earthy notes too. Light bodied. Medium dry flavour, bland start, a little fruit, tolerable hops in the finish. Very little complexity. Not really bad, but there are better ales out there. Won’t spend money on more of this one.

Mediocre pale ale.
Clear dark golden with 2-finger off-white head, nice retention.
Smell - grassy, malty.
Taste - honey, malty, herbal hops.
Medium body and carbonation, smooth, drinkable.

I find this mid pack but better than BA reviews.
a) Pours the hazed amber with a tan head that lasts and parades some lacing.
s) Too faint and too much mass grain/malt with a bit of sweet honey and flowers.
t) Also red pale sweet, grains, with that honey and floral finales that redeems it.
f) Easy, smooth, but light and grainy. Session beer.
Extra stout is so much better.

Herbal, grassy nose with a touch of lemongrass. Light and sweet on the palate, with touches of honey, wheat, lemon, dry spice, and moderate bitterness. Fairly creamy and lively on the palate.
