Pours an orange-tinged golden colour, sienna even, fair bit of cream-coloured head, fair retention. Very light, slow bead of carbonation. Fantastic, cradling film of lacing. Standard appearance really, apart from that lacing, which makes this look delish.
Very sweet and aromatic nose with multitudes of fresh fruit. Definitely a pungent wash of apricot, with mango and passionfruit lingering on the back. Virtually no hops, in fact one could easily mistake this for a fruit beer but it's not so sickly sweet, it's just Summery and pleasant.
Has all the delicious aspects of the nose - the fruit, the sweetness, but this is balanced quite exquisitely with a subtle but distinct hoppy finish. It's subtle in that the hoppy flavour doesn't last long, but the finish is definitely dry, crean and crisp. This is a fantastic beer, hitting all the right notes on the palate. It's like a lighter, fruitier Little Creatures (forever the benchmark) with a real Summery, tropical character. While Murray's Nirvana Pale and Sierra Nevada Pale are comparable to Little Creatures, this has a uniqueness which in my mind sets it apart. Maybe it's the rain outside talking but I think this is a fantastic beer.

A - Even with a steady, slow pour this ends up with a huge rocky white head sitting a top a golden coloured beer. Lots of rising carbonation bubbles.
S - Some fruit aromas. Not much else.
T - Again fruity, sort of tropical. A bit of light maltiness.
M - Lighter side of medium bodied. Fairly high carbonation.
D - OK, but nothing to get excited about.

Tending to wards a darker gold it is clear with a soft light head.
Both smell and taste are honey sweet maklts and fruity hoppiness.It doesnt quite seem to be balanced right as all the sensations are competing with each other.
Mouthfeel was weak and lanquid.
This is almost a good bear .It like a radio station that is just not tuned quite right.A little twiddle on the balance could improve it enormously.

Nice gold colour with fine offwhite head, some lace. Smells of pale malt powder, and spicy/tropical fruit. Some yeast in there too. Perfumy, juniper-like, herbal flavour, with a reasonable bitter finish. A touch of meaty, yeast flavours as well. Nice mouthfeel, not too drying, yet crisp and demanding more. Indeed a session beer.
