Tried as a sampler from the brewery.

Paly yellow and very fizzy, with modest white head. Lace is nice and sticky. Looks alright, but way too much fizz for a pale.

Slightly floral on the nose but hijacked by lots of POR grittiness. Slight earthy and dour in its bitterness. Little bit of vanilla malt hides behind, but not enough to excite me. A bit simple.

Tastes very POR throughout, light on the front then growing stronger on the mid. Hints of spice towards the back, aspects of paprika with some soil character as well. Very earthy, and some really unpleasant bitter notes.

Mouthfeel is over carbonated and a little sharp.

Not the easiest to get down, and not a great pale ale example.

Thanks to my mate Brendan B who brought this back from S.A.
a) Rocky, nice white head. Dark/honey/pale amber, good bubbling.
s) Apple flesh....fruity/soapy.... uh oh... reminds me of my extract homebrew
f) Definitely an extract brew, and not that good either. Candy floss initially, toffee apple, slight floral/citrus, light bitterness
m) Light
d) Well, it is refreshing, and drinkable, but not of commercial quality.
