Pours a light amber, coppery coloration with a large, frothy head. Smells of biscuity malt and orange rind, with a hint of pine. Taste follows the nose, with a caramel, biscuity malt taste and hoppy notes of orange rind, tangerine and a hint of lime and pine. Finishes with a dry, medium bitterness and a very slight metallic aftertaste. Body is quite light, with lively carbonisation. Slightly watery, but not too bad. This is just about ok, but there are plenty of much better options around.

Pours a hazy amber color with a big, froth head to it.

Smells of a leaf and toffee wrapped orange fruit, together with a refreshing lemony hint. Unfortunately the sweet malts dominate the nose, with hops accentuating the prominent malt base.

Has a soft, lively carbonation, which maintains its smoothness till the end, while a late effervescence adding to the rich, sweet malts, overruling the hops completely.

Begins with a nice lemon crispness among dough and sweeter turning toffee. Its mid palate is pretty dull and watery, with its finish producing a noteable dryness, overpowered by cloyingly sweet malts.

Not very pale ale-ish at all, unbalanced with overly sweet malts and a thin mouthfeel, not good.

 

 

Growler. Poured out a clear, golden orange color with a small, off-white head of bubbly foam. It smelled of citrus and toasted caramel. Sweet citrus, toasted caramel and a sharp bitterness.
