This is a 'certified organic' pale ale from the William Bull Brewery who also brought us the Red Angus Pilsner, which I sampled earlier in the challenge.
This is one of those citrusy ales that sometimes get labelled with 'Golden'. It's maybe a touch misleading, even though you do get citrusy style pale ales, there are some elements lacking in this one. There is no layer of malt to thicken the flavour, so it ends up weak and flimsy, and unlike a boxing kangaroo, there is also no hoppy punch.
It just isn't MY type of Pale Ale when it comes down to it. 'Pale' isn't just referring to the colour, in this instance it refers to the entire experience. Thin, pale, weak. This beer needs to go outside and live a little more.
I suppose we will start seeing more of this though. Typical 'craft' styles of beer become watered down to draw the average punter away from his Draught or Euro Lager.
5/10
