A 500ml bottle with a BB of May 2018. ABV is stated as 3.8%. Purchased a little while back from ALDI. The label describes it as a hoppy, fruity pale ale.
A: Poured into a tulip pint glass. A bright golden-amber with good clarity and intense carbonation. Forms a large head of frothy white foam that lasts for perhaps a minute before collapsing to almost nothing.
S: Aroma of vivid fruity hops with hints of guava, light tropical fruit, apricot, floral notes, a touch of honey, subtle ale yeast and pale malt. Excellent - a beer that lives up to its tagline.
T: Tastes of light fruity hops with notes of mild tropical fruit, apricot, floral hints, a twinge of honey, pale malt and subtle ale yeast. Quite dry, with a crisp, restrained bitterness upon swallowing.
M: Mouthfeel is smooth, tingly and dry, with spritzy carbonation and a thin, watery body. Aftertaste of fruity hops, light bitterness and faint yeast.
O: Pretty good - better than I was expecting in fact. Looks could be improved, but the aroma is great and the flavour has quite a nice balance as well. Thin, subpar body. Although the appearance and mouthfeel let the side down, this is a decent little brew with more character than the label might suggest. Bright and fruity - worth sampling if you come across it.

Pale marmalade colour. Very little head.
Weak hoppy aroma.
Not much flavour. Some hoppy astringency and mild digestive biscuit taste.
Thin and lacking character.

Bottled and part of the Aldi beer festival
Golden body but I just can't get any head retention at all
It smells like as promised on the label like a hoppy bitter
Buttery biscuit yeast and apricot
Blimey it is a hoppy bitter all the aroma present in flavour
