Maris* arrived a surprisingly bright golden ale--clear and topped with a thick white
cap of head. This stuff really puts the pale in pale ale. Extremely well carbonated. It's mild scent is quite floral, and hints at bitterness to come, but doesn't give the ending away.
This
pale ale is gentle, but not meek. It's flavour starts slowly, with dry
and flowery hop notes. However, by midway through the pint, Maris*'
bitterness had started to compound beyond initial expectations. There is
also a thin grapefruit quality and some grainy vibes.
This
is a quality pale ale. A little low octane if you're looking for a full
bodied pale, but it hits the spot if you want a hoppy and crisp session ale. According to the Left Field website, this cheeky little session beer contains 4.5% alcohol and 30 IBUs.
Rating: 8.5 out of 10.
