Around The World In 80 Beers Episode 208:Nun Launcher Pale Ale

Pours a clear, pale yellow with fine carbonation visible. The head is quite large, and fades away slowly.

First Sip: Very mild malt, with a strong citrus, grapefruity flavour. Very mild hops at first, but it lingers for ever after the swallow. Mouth-feel is a little thin, with a mild carbonation tingle on the tongue.

I'm not really a fan of pales - I prefer something darker and malty - but this is nice and refreshing and would make the perfect ale to sit around the bbq on a hot summer's day with mates while you wait for the meats to cook.

But it's late autumn at the moment, and grey, and cool. The fire is going, and I like this beer! It's yummy. And the best part is I live about 1km away from the brewery.
