Swifty
Real Ale Brewing Company

Mild APA that I often offer to those easily offended by hops. Pretty balanced and an easy drinker.

Light gold pour, some chill haze, ring of a head leaving bits if lace. Nose is citrus.

Taste is bright citrus, light kilned malt, little apricot. Mouthfeel is light. Finish is more citrus, not too bitter nor too sweet.

From a can. Clear amber color with foamy white head. Grapefruit hop aroma. Medium body. Earthy malt flavor up front with some citrus and floral hop notes. Good APA.

 

 

 

A pretty good APA with a medium body, citrus hops and nice balance.

super modern and blonde dry hoppy pale, thanks to my buddy for sending a mess of real ale stuff out, they have a diverse and interesting lineup of quality stuff, and this has definitely been a favorite so far as i work my way through them. its on the edge of being a hoppy blonde on the one hand, clear and radiant and really minimal on the grain side for the style, but then also its on the edge of being a proper ipa on the other, full hop saturation just short of being green, its oily and even kind of dank for being this fruity, and its bold and unique too, so it plays in a few different style spaces equally well in my opinion. golden yellow in the glass with a frothing inch plus of airy white almost belgian looking head and lace, great clarity, lovely. the nose is super fresh, maybe a citra mosaic complexion, not sure the hops, but i get little wrinkles of canned pineapple, orange candy, lemongrass, and even passion fruit, as prominent in the taste as it is in the aroma, and it finishes clean without much bitterness for it being this juicy and forward and sort of heavy handed. cool that this can be so flavorful and also so delicate and drinkable, i love the light dry body, the high carbonation, and the lower abv, i also like it not being hazy, not enough beers like this around anymore. a light yellow corn note as it warms, but cool fruitiness too from green banana to honeydew to zested key lime. delicious, summery, faintly herbal and resinous to close, refreshing for a hoppy beer, super well done and frankly pretty brutally underrated here on BA. among my favorites to date from these guys in limited experience...

Nice hoppy aroma and flavor, but nothing too crazy. Easy drinker.

 

 

Too hoppy

Nice American ale. Strong smell profile, with a bit of a citrusy bent to it. Great, drinkable ale that works through the summer months.

Served on tap in a pint glass
Appearance – The beer is served a clear golden amber color with a one finger head of white foam. The head has a moderate level of retention, fading over time to leave a light level of foamy lace on the sides of the glass.
Smell – The aroma of the brew is strongest of a grapefruit hop smell mixed with aromas of orange and lemon citrus. Along with these smells comes some notes of grass as well as a bit of a caramel.
Taste – The taste begins with a rather crisp malty taste with a decent showing of some tangerine citrus. Along with these flavors comes some grapefruit and herbal hop. The hop starts out lighter, but grows in intensity as the taste advances, and with a little bit of lemon and grain, one is left with a nice, rather crisp and moderately bitter taste to linger on the tongue.
Mouthfeel – The body of the brew is slightly lighter and more crisp with a carbonation level that is average. The mix of light body and carbonation, match well the very easy drinking taste of the brew and enhance its drinkability.
Overall – A rather nice, very easy drinking brew. It has a good flavor level and a super easy going style.
