L- Dark gold, slightly hazy, pours with thin patchy head (might be the glass).
S- Smells of hipster, bright, probably citrus plus a grassy note.
T- Bright indeed, fits the Pale Ale style well. Light dry twist into the finish. I have probably served this over-chilled (suggest you avoid doing the same) as I sense the taste is rather repressed here. Ie if not my 1st beer of tonight I'd have prefered to give this a chance to drop the hard chill and open up. If there is citrus here it seems mercifully subtle/balanced.
F- It's hoppy-dry as one would expect of a pale ale. But it's not OTT, it's not a hipster-bludgeon.
O- It's very nice, would really go well on a hot day as it's brightly refreshing yet has a 5.2% body that balances with mouthfeel/presence. A very polished offering, nothing out of place or balance.
£3.49/500ml bottle bought from Bacchanalia in Cambridge. BB: ?/I didn't find it, but it tastes very fresh.

On tap at the Apple & Pear Taphouse in St Helier. Pours a golden colour with a thick white head. Aromas of citrus & malt. Taste is citrusy hoppy with a pale malty background, notes of lemon also present, some hop bitterness in the aftertaste. A very nice pint.

500ml Bottle: BBD 11/2013 poured at home into two half-pint glass tankards during 06/2013.
Mid-range golden body with a white head that didn't hang around very long.
Citrus nose (grapefruit and lemons): semi-sweet taste again with a citrus twist. Slightly acidic feel to the whole tasting.
Refreshing and thirst quenching, ideal for drinking in the sun after a hard days toil: which is when I broached the bottle.
