AKA “Exit Pale” is now in a technologically advanced can - least that’s what the can label says. I’ve been a long time fan of Exit Brewing ever since I tried their #008 Double Session XXXPA waaay back in 2015 (feels like an age ago - my beard has white hair in it now). Strange that I never got wind of this #014 Pale Ale when it was in bottles, however I’m pretty keen on #003 Milk Stout, so I know Exit can brew a damn good beer, this APA should be a walk in the park for them. Also love how they went all-out Tron on the beer can design - just saw their IPA in green cans today, will have to get my hands on that one. Something that does concern me is the middling 4.6% ABV, a touch on the low side for me, hopefully it’s got enough going on.
Poured from a 375ml can into a nonic pint.
A: Hazy golden/amber body with a fluffy white sea foam head that leaves a decent amount of lace on the side of the glass. Looks aiight. Pretty much a classic APA look with this #014 Pale Ale. 7/10.
S: Light with citrus and stonefruit overtones (mandarin and peachy vibes cruisin’ through this town). Hints of biscuit and caramel malts as well. The overall feel of this brew is a light easy-drinking hop-driven APA for a nice hot summer day. A bit Stone & Wood Pacific Ale so far (hopefully the flavour is a bit more West Coast USA though). 7/10.
T: Easy drinking written all over this - mandarin and peachy hops mingle with a light biscuit and caramel malt base, hint of a grainy note as well, crisp dry finish with a mild touch of citrus hop bitterness bookending this easy drinking brew. Did I mention this is easy drinking? No? Well it is: EASY DRINKING. 7/10.
M: Mid to light bodied with a decent slightly dense carbonation, mouthfeel is pretty spot on for an APA. I’m not surprised how well they nailed it - these guys brew the best Aussie Milk Stout I’ve come across yet. 8/10.
D: A touch on the boring side for me but I can see the appeal on a hot summers day - sorry to the Mexicans (i.e. any Aussies living south of Queensland) for the heatwave they’re going through right now - crack one of these babies open, you’ll be right mate. As for me, even though I found the flavours a bit too S&W Pacific Ale(ish), I still drained my glass quicker than Trump tweets his bile before breakfast. Good drop this, will definitely get my hands on their green-coloured can of IPA now. 7/10.
Food match: Some fancy chicken burger I had for dinner would have gone well here.
