Pours gold with a large white head. Nose shows floral and fruity hops along with a grassy notes and some soft sweet clean malt. Bitter flavorus with very little supporting malt. Some grainy, cereal-like notes. More grassy and spicy hops.

Will drink again. Drinks with more flavour than it looks.

Super hazy dulled orange pour. Large bleach-white big-bubbled head. Long retention, lacing is messy but very notable.
An obvious sweet maltiness to the nose, hints of mango, melon, passion fruit, and those little soft dried apple pieces in a bag.
Bitterness is potent and immediate, but not harsh. Basic, honest spicy and citrus hop flavours make an appearance.
Solid feel in the mouth and going down, medium body and slightly chewy. Very dry.
Low ABV, great feel, and impressively bittered. Nothing interesting enough for a return visit though...

Bottle conditioned. Notably sold in a very dark glass bottle which should help preserve the beer longer as this offers less exposure to light. A good idea since it looks like they may ship this overseas. The label contains a few different languages on it.
Appearance: Pours with persistent white head that remains. A good golden colour and cloudy from bottle condoning if rousted.
Flavour: Great. I loved the taste of this beer. Rich malt flavours and very good bitter hops finish. Presents as a pale but is bordering towards IPA but is very drinkable to allow several to be had in a session and with lower ABV this is welcome.
Aroma: I'm getting nice melon fruit aromas. Fresh to the nose.
Overall: A great example of APA style. Presented fresh with persistent head, good balanced flavour, nice bitter finish and lifted hop aromas.

Pours a mango-yellow with decent head and lacing.
Nose is apple, kind of strong slightly plasticcy hops, bit of fermented apple after it's been sitting round for a while (perhaps a little "cider"-y, even). Seems to be a bit of light malt/yeast there too.
Taste is definitely bitter (the 48 IBUs are quite noticeable in a beer of this low ABV/high attenuation). Dry, body is in a good place for this style/ABV, slightly under medium. Bit of apple in the finish.
Mouthfeel finishes in strong bittering hops, slightly ashen even.
I initially wasn't too enamoured with this offering but on reflection it's something I'd return to, as I don't mind bitterness. It works well as something bitter, sessionable and which requires almost no contemplation whatsoever. Prost!
