Appearance:
Pours a beautiful burn orange/copper colour with a tan head. Has a tad bit of chill haze, but quite clear. Small tight, pure white bubbles for the head. A very nice beer with some great colour for a SMASH beer.

Aroma:
Dank, piney with a hint of grapefruit. The beer has a great hop aroma with a subtle malt backbone and a touch of toastiness. No off flavours on the nose just a great simcoe hop flavour.

Mouthfeel:
Good carbonation, keeps it light and let's the flavours move over the palate. Nice dry finish, that could do with just a bit of residual sweetness.

Flavour:
Smooth bitterness that leads to a good mixture of the dank/piney flavours of the simcoe hops and toasted malt backbone. Has quite a dry finish, I feel that it could do with just a small amount of residual sweetness to balance the toasted malt/dry finish of the beer. The beer has a nice complexity  for a single malt. Toasting the malt really gives extra flavour in the beer that you do not expect.

Overall:
As always Tubedinoz has produced a a great beer. For a smash beer, it is complex in the malt character and balanced with the hops. The toasting of the malt really adds to the beer, the only thing I can think of with this beer, is to add a bit of crystal to add a small amount of sweetness to balance out the roasted malt flavour and dry finish. I think Tubedinoz is onto a great pale ale recipe here, which is moreish and refreshing.
