A - golden, clear, fizzy white thin head that thins quickly
S - fruity (passionfruit) with a faint grass and sweet malt smells
T - nothing too fancy. slightly sweet, citrus (lemon) and grassy malts dominate. Noticeable yeast in the background, with a mild bitterness.
M - high carbonation, watery texture, light bodied.
O - not bad, muted hoppy bitterness and a tad bland. More like a lager actually.

330ml bottle purchased from Slowbeer in Melbourne.
Pours a faintly hazed, but very light-coloured yellow with a minimal white head that settles down to little more than a fine ring around the edge, with a few islands of larger bubbles. Carbonation is fine, and the body has a little heft to it. Some tight but rather nondescript lace forms later. Looks decent without being exciting.
Nose is pleasant enough: sweet malty grain characters laced with a faintly fruity hop presence, although not strongly enough to feel like the beer would warrant the label "hoppy". Some honey comes through again underlining the fact that it smells rather sweet overall. Some bready characters as it warms up. Decent, not exciting.
Hmm, I see a trend here. Taste is again: decent, but not exciting. Clean neutral malt presence through the centre of the palate, a bit dull, and reminiscent of many other dull pale ales. Some slight hop bite progresses from the back towards the finish, slightly herbal but quite clean. Finish is bright and a little sharp, giving it a crispness to end on.
Feel is pretty decent: quite light and bright through the centre and elevated by a fine carbonation throughout.
Overall: yeah, it's decent stuff. It's got some mild, subdued flavours to it which puts it more in the "generic pale ale" category, but it's quite drinkable, and certainly more interesting than macro swill. But it doesn't get into the category of being truly interesting in its own right, and there are many, many other beers out there that taste like this—I don't think there's enough going for it to make it stand out.
