YellowBelly Brewery / Top Shed East Coast Cream Ale American Pale Ale at 4.8% ABV (C$9.34 at NLC Stavanger, 1 l, best before 14-Apr-2016, reviewed 12-Mar-2016)
Appearance: clear straw with one fat finger of fluffy white head, excellent retention and moderate lacing. (4/5) Aroma: citrus, white wine, pale malt, field berries. (7/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter. (7/10) Palate: medium-light body, moderate carbonation, crisp lightly bitter finish. (3/5)
Nice. Pacific Gem hops are supposed to have a blackberry aroma, but I’m finding they come through with a white wine vinous character here. Lots of citrus and fruit flavour make this a light and pleasant APA. (14/20)
