Pours gold with a small head.
Nose shows grassy and spicy hops, soft light malt and hay.
Similar flavours with the same spicy hop notes and some light sweet pilsner-like malt followed by an assertive bitterness.
Nice moderately light body, could use a bit more carbonation though.

Nice hoppy brew, mild enough for a session. Great BBQ beer.

Lemon yellow and cloudy like custard, you can't see any carbonation and its topped with a 3 finger, glassy, fast fading head.
Smells of citrus and pine, pineapple and tropical punch, with loads of nuances.
Medium, chalky body with moderate carbonation.
Got this in Perth, drinking in Thailand, Aug 26, 2017. Very hoppy for an American Pale Ale.

Nice beer but lacks punch. The appearance is cloudy and the nose fruity. Mouthfeel is pleasant and the beer is quite refreshing. Hoppy finish that stays for a while.

A - Pours a pale straw colour with white frothy head that dissipates slowly to a thin film
S - Lemonade (almost shandy like) on the nose. Light floral, grainy hoppy aromas with a some peach, lemon.
T - Light hoppy, grassy taste, lemon, grapefruit with a bitter finish
M - Light bodied with medium carbonation
O - Light well balanced hoppy beer with a nice slight bitter finish that is delightful on a hot summers day

From Warner's no BB.
A - clear straw, one finger head, good lace.
S - husks, grains, a little malt.
T - light and summery indeed. A quaffer. Almost in macro territory, but saved by light hop presence on back palate. Some doughy malts.
M - very light, moderate carbonation, zingy.
O - easy drinking, not challenging, and as such an odd adder to the Feral range. A cynic might suggest this was added at the behest of the finance dept not the brewing dept.

Bottle: standard 330mL brown bottle, typical Feral Brewing label. So, okay.
Appearance: pours a clear pale straw yellow with fine carbonation. A small white head dissipates quickly to a thin ring.
Aroma: plenty of tropical fruits and some herbal and grassy hops. Not much malt or backbone.
Taste: pretty much follows the nose - plenty of fruit and grassy hops, without much malt. Refreshing to say the least, if a touch one-dimensional.
Aftertaste: some hop bitterness with tropical fruits still hanging about.
Mouth feel: light- to-moderate in body with a moderate carbonation to bring the flavour through.
Overall: another example of a decent but not overwhelming beer from Feral, with a price tag far too high. Quite a refreshing tropical fruit-based beer, but not good enough for the price of AU$88 for a case of 24 x 330mL.

Look: Poured into pint glass, colour poured a 5-7 on the BJCP colour guide, low to moderate carbonation, two finger head that dissipated fairly quickly
Smell: Most notable hoppy piney and citrus notes, pineapple with slight grapefruit, from afar (20-30cm) malty notes
Taste: Low malty sweetness and hop bitterness, moderate hop pine and citrus, very akin to the smell, but a little sweeter
Feel: Smooth, very slightly creamy, but carbonation plays a big part on the tongut
Overall: Decent beer, more like an APA than a blonde, would easily buy again
