Spectrum Beer Co. Melon Haze Pale Ale American Pale Ale at 5% ABV (C$2.47 at Collective, 355 ml, packaged on 9-May-2018, acquired 19-Oct-2018, reviewed 23-Oct-2018)
Appearance: hazy straw with two fat fingers of rocky white head, excellent retention and heavy clingy lacing. (4/5) Aroma: very mild melon & floral, with a hint of lemon. (6/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter. (7/10) Palate: medium-light body, moderate carbonation, off-dry mild bitter slightly astringent finish. (3/5)
No real off notes, but light almost to the point of non-existence. The light body tends almost watery, making the mild bitterness taste a little more emphatic, nearly astringent. OK, certainly refreshing and crushable, but I think I’d like it better if there were more going on. (13/20)
