Apex Predator Double IPA’s little brother, this session ale is a tropical delight with a bit less bite. Expect bright flavours of mango, passion fruit, tangerine, and pineapple and a gentle late bitterness that helps to cleanse the palate between sips. A carefully selected range of malts provide this beer with necessary balance and body, and the outcome is juicy, light, and endlessly sessionable.

473ml can - another quick release in their Apex Predator series, just in under the gun as summer starts winding down.
This beer pours a murky, medium apricot amber colour, with two fingers of puffy, rocky, and somewhat fizzy ecru head, which leaves some low-lying fog bank pattern lace around the glass as it lazily blows off.
It smells of dank pine resin, bready and doughy caramel malt, some muddled domestic citrus rind, a mild hard water stoniness, and more understated leafy, weedy, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy caramel malt, some orange and red grapefruit citrus peel, a damp minerality, and further herbal, musty, and piney hoppiness.
The carbonation is average in its palate-pinging frothiness, the body a so-so middleweight, and mostly smooth, with nothing really getting all that handsy at this point in the process. It finishes trending dry, the malt stepping down, as the mixed hoppy character exhibits some lingering sassiness.
Overall - what we have here is yet one more well-rendered IPA from Bench Creek, this time of the lower-test sort, AKA ISA. Crisp, easy to drink, and easy on the ol' liver, or BAL (lovin' me some initialisms, apparently). Worth checking out, IMHO (bloody hell!).
