Had this at the CAMRA GBBF in 2013. 1/3 pint.
As an American Pale Ale, this is a mess. It's bland, and boring and the words "triple hop" made me joke at the time that it must be "triple hop" in much the same way as Miller advertises.
The aroma was plain, mostly non-existent. The hop characteristic was also basically non-existent. I'm not clear on what the brewers were going for, but if this was just old (entirely possible given the lack of flavor), it perhaps shouldn't have been served at a festival.

Non-number version of Triple Hop.
From a fabulous looking pour in the glass to a look at the bottle - damn!! - BB Oct 2014. Don't you love 'fresh' stock.
Anyways - solid if dated English take on APA - ie nice lot of flavour - low ABV. Hops had quite clearly faded leaving a stale and somewhat sharp taste.

A 500ml bottle with a BB of Feb 2014, so it's rather out of date. I hope it's still good. Picked up a while back from Trembling Madness in York. The label describes it as a golden session beer hopped with Pacific Gem, Motueka and Waimea.
Poured into a Duvel tulip. Bottle conditioned. A bright, hazy amber hue with fine sediment and medium carbonation. Yields a large head of creamy white foam that lasts for a few minutes before settling as a patchy surface layer. Nice lacing. Aroma of fruity hops with hints of white grape, tropical fruits, lime, citrus, mild grass/hay, caramel malt, earthy yeast and faint stewed hops. Lovely.
Tastes of fruity aromatic hops with a dry finish. Notes of white grape, tropical fruit, lime, peel, citrus, grass/hay, earthy yeast, caramel malt and stewed hops. Well-attenuated, followed by a mild, leafy bitterness upon swallowing. Mouthfeel is smooth, tingly and dry, with pleasant carbonation and a slightly insubstantial body for the style. Lightly astringent, accompanied by an aftertaste of fruity hops, earthy yeast and stewed leaves.
Pretty good, even though the hops have probably faded a bit. Looks nice, while the aroma and flavour are redolent with fruity hop notes and earthy yeast. Body is OK but a tad thin. A tasty brew with a nice hop profile. Worth a punt if you come across it.
