Pacific Northwest meets Pacific Southeast as the best of American and New Zealand hops meld together with just enough malt backbone to allow them to sing. A riot of mango and passion-fruit on the nose but balanced enough to drink by the bucketful. Dive in and grab another bottle but don’t get the bends.
Ingredients:
Grains: Pale, Vienna, Munich, Cara-Pils
Hops: Citra, Pacific Gem

Orange gold colour, limited head. Aroma full of citrus fruit, which comes through in the taste as well (mango in particular). Not over carbonated.

Revisit.
Golden, slightly hazy.
Nose - fresh fruit, very clean.
Taste - bitter, piney, resinous. Bitter aftertaste, flat carbonation.
Bottled. A gold/amber colour with almost no head. Hazy due to pouring the yeast. Sweet, fruity nose. Definite hops but not overpowering. Lots of citrus fruit, well balanced by some dryness and bitterness. Very clean and refreshing.
Pours hazy orange, topped with a large and lasting foamy white head. Pleasant, though gentle fruity aroma with citruses, pine apple, gooseberries and some more. Slight sweetness upfront, a bit of biscuity maltiness. Medium bitterness that gents a bit more noticeable in the finish. Medium bodied. Lasting aftertaste. A nice one.
Tried at the Peterborough Beer Festival 2017. Hazy golden colour with a white head. aroma has peach, pine and grapefruit.Taste fruity a light caramel. Medium body.
from CraftGallery - hazy dark blond beer with a white foam left; yeasty nose with a spicy hoppiness; medium-bodied, solid yet subtle carbonation; astringent; dry and bitter spicy and dusty flowery finish
Bue à la pression. Bonde dorée, mousse blanche. Nez agrumes, mangue. Palais fin, délicat, fines bulles. Légère amertume, bien équilibrée. Finale aromatique fruits jaunes.
Keg Euston tap. Tastes like it’s on the way out. Pretty funky. Little head. Not much life to it.
Bottle 33 cl. Cloudy golden with a white head. Very complex, aromatic nose of fairly sophisticated hops. Lovely. Lightish body, dry, quite fruity with a dry and hoppy finish. Not bad. 030517
Hazy straw colored, dense cream colored head. Fruity aroma, maybe a bit of pineapple? Bright flavor, pine and passion fruit. Crisp finish. Pretty good.
Cloudy lemon yellow with a bit of a head. Aroma of tropical fruit. Body is really smooth, with a nice flavor, a bit sour, a bit malty, no single element stands out. Really drinkable.
330ml bottle from brewdog Stirling
Pours clear with small white head which doesn’t stick around long.
Aroma of dank hop and light malt
Tastes of citrus/tropical resinous and piney with a long, crisp bitter finish
Carbonation light but about right for style with a almost oiley mouthfeel.
Overall good hoppy pale ale for any occasion
Very light APA that has a well rounded character. Nice bitterness at the end with some piney notes. Overall a nice beer with little outstanding tastes.
Keg at Cask Pub & Kitchen, Pimlico, London, UK. Colour is hazy orange, with a tiny white head. Aroma is lot of fruit, peach, grapefruit, tropical fruits, hops, malt. Taste is medium sweet and bitter. Long fruity duration. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation.
Hazy dark golden liquid, small head. Fruity aroma of hops. Light body, little bit carbonation. Taste is bitter, and a tiny bit sour.
Bottled - strong and pleasant aroma. Hops dominant - floral/spruce. Nice appearance - moderate head, golden, slightly hazy. Bitter on the taste with a slight sweetness after but a (nice) bitter finish. Pleasantly drinkable but could be slightly more strongly hopped.
September 14, 2015 at The Cock (Hackney) - cask handpull. With ChrisO and lagerloather. Clear amberish gold with pretty much zero head. Sweet and grainy/grassy aroma, with some tropical fruit. Taste - tropical APA, more grassy than west coast though -a little watery too, still, medium-quick finish. A grudging 14/20 - needs more body and bolder hopping.
On cask at the Hanging Bat.
Appearance - golden amber with a nice fluffy head.
Nose - orange peel then going into marmalade.
Taste - big orange and lime notes. Light resin. Nice lime zing on the finish.
Palate - light bodied with a creamy texture and a long dry tangy finish.
Overall - loads of flavour packed into this one.
Tap @ basement beer bar Aalborg. Aroma of resin and herbal hops, light malt. Amber with white head. Taste is light+ bitter and light sweet. Medium- body, oily- feel and short finish.
Golden with a lasting white head. Big, tropical fruity hop aroma. Sweetish fruity flavour with a touch of malt and a good bitter finish.
Amber colour, small head, okaish lacing. Moderate, lasting bitterness, citrusy. Not bad.
Blonde claire, bonne limpidité, bonne tenue de mousse, nez relativement citronné. En bouche c’est très fruité, ce qui est loin d’être dégueu. Je serais tenté de dire que l’on est majoritairement sur du fruit de la passion. Petite pointe d’amertume sur la fin, mais pas trop non plus. Bref, une APA qui lorgne vachement beaucoup du côté de l’IPA mine de rien, et c’est bien bon
33 cl bottle from Brew dog Oxford street. Pours hazy golden with big head. Fruity aroma with sweet citrus and caramel taste.
33 cl. bottle. Hazy amber colour with an off-white head. Aroma and flavour of hops, fruit, citrus, caramel, grapefruit and peach.

Taste is medium sweet malt, some caramel, moderate fruity, peachy, tropical and citrus hops, bit hay, medium bitterness, dryish finish. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, oily. Pretty nice!
