376 Deya Steady Rolling Man Pale Ale United Kingdom American Pale Ale 3.7

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 7

500 ml can, from KWM Wines & Spirits, as Deya Steady Rolling Man Pale Ale. ABV is 5.2%. Hazy pale yellow colour, large white head. Distinct aroma of lychee, rambutan and pineapple. Light bodied. Flavour of citrus and said tropical fruits, not too sweet, a little pine in the finish, but a firmer bitterness would not hurt. Still a fairly decent NEPA as it is.
