Pours a hazy, pale orange coloration with a medium, fluffy head. Smells of biscuity malt and citrus/tropical hops, with notes of orange, mango and some grassy, slightly resinous accents as well. Taste is an excellent balance of biscuity malt and fruity, juicy, resinous, slightly grassy and dank hops, with citrus and lighter tropical notes of orange, lime peel and mango, as well as some pine and hints of grassy weed. Finishes with a medium bitterness and some orange, mango and pine lingering in the aftertaste. Soft mouthfeel with a light/medium body and medium carbonation.

A wonderful Pale Ale that may be just a little light-bodied, but still feels incredibly full and flavorful for the low ABV. I also love the combination of fruity, juicy and bitter, resinous hops here, with some dank and grassy accents added for good measure and a great balance of zesty citrus and lighter tropical notes. Overall, this makes for a very enjoyable Pale that's quite easy-drinking, yet flavorful, with a great body for the low ABV, as well as a very nice, soft mouthfeel.

 

440ml can. A dank and resinous New England-style session pale ale from Manchester, England. Hazy yellow with a thick, creamy head. Aroma is wood and citrus. Taste is yeast, pine and tropical fruit. Body is light but extra smooth and bitter. Fantastic drinkability in this beautifully crafted low ABV pale ale.
