Pours a hazy, orange coloration with a medium, fluffy head. Smells of biscuity malt and citrus/tropical hops, with notes of mango, papaya and orange. Taste is a great balance of biscuity malt and fruity, slightly grassy and herbal hops, with citrus and tropical notes of mango, papaya and orange, as well as some grassy, herbal accents. Finishes with a light bitterness and some mango and orange lingering in the aftertaste. Smooth mouthfeel with a light/medium body and medium carbonation.
This is probably my favorite of the series so far. While the aroma is still quite lacking compared to E1, the body and mouthfeel is much improved, while the hops kept that more well-rounded feel of E2 and perhaps even feel a bit more expressive here, with a great balance of citrus and tropical notes, as well as a slightly more herbal component compared to the previous versions. Overall, this makes for a very enjoyable Pale Ale that is well-rounded and feels quite flavorful and full-bodied for the low ABV.

440ml can from Cloudwater Online Shop (£3.50):
Very pale, light golden & translucent with a 2cm, foamy white head that holds well & looks thick. It's fresh smelling & quite tropical with a lot of peach, some mango too & touches of citrus to finish but again it's quite sweet with something close to vanilla right at the end. The taste is very fruit & tropical too with some mango, peach & pine. It's very fresh, juicy & lively with the unexpected sweetness a nice addition too.
