650ml bottle - an 'Orange Pineapple Pale Ale'. Not quite certain about the name reference this time around.

This beer pours a murky, medium apricot yellow colour, with three fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly dirty white head, which leaves zilch in the way of lace on the glass as it rashly fizzles away.

It smells of the juice in canned pineapples, bready and doughy caramel malt, some muddled citrus fleshiness, subtle earthy yeast, and plain leafy, weedy, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy cereal malt, blood orange, red grapefruit, and lemon citrus rind, rather faded pineapple core notes, some damp minerality, and more understated earthy, musty, and grassy hoppiness.

The carbonation is quite active in its palate-pinging frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and generally smooth, with nothing getting in the way of a laid-back experience at this particular point in the game. It finishes off-dry, the mixed frooty essences mingling with the lingering malt sweetness.

Overall - this is a pleasant enough version of an NEPA, dosed with some adjunct fruit, which definitely play it on the down-low. Easy to put back, not too boozy (in fact, this is approaching the 'session' variety of the style), and nicely refreshing. Good stuff!
