A new beer to me, found packed in the latest Dead Frog mixer pack available in my neck of the woods. I really enjoyed most things about this beer - it is malt forward, but the hops impart a nice tropical citrus - mango, grapefruit and orange. Overall, a very pleasant "before supper" tipple.

Something about this beer just doesn't sit right with me. It's not a bad beer, but there is nothing about it that makes me want to return. When I compare it to pale ales from Phillips or Troubled Monk or Bench Creek this just does not measure up. Is it bad? No. It's got some hops. A bit of malt, but nothing about this grabs me and interests me to wanting more.

341ml bottle, with the new-ish branding. Looks like they turned their Interstellar ESB into a pale ale.
This beer pours a clear, bright medium copper amber colour, with three fingers of puffy, densely foamy, and mildly creamy ecru head, which leaves some decent layered Mercator Projection lace around the glass as it slowly sinks away.
It smells of pithy white grapefruit and underripe orange citrus, grainy caramel malt, some stoney flintiness, and more leafy, weedy, and piney hop bitterness. The taste is bready, doughy, and lightly toasted caramel malt, a muddled tropical fruitiness, some consistent watery grapefruit, lemon, and orange citrus juiciness, a sense of white pepper-esque spice, and further zippy leafy and piney hoppiness.
The carbonation is adequately structured in its supportive duties, as well as an otherwise playful frothiness, the body a solid middleweight, and generally smooth, with a wee airy creaminess arising as things warm up a tad. It finishes off-dry, the base malt and fruity tendencies of the hops locked in step.
Overall, a pleasantly rendered, and enjoyable pale ale, the hops bringing their game in the form of a genial fruitiness, rather than via an IPA boundary teasing bitterness. Nice to see that with their new look, the stuff inside the bottle wasn't forgotten in the mix.
