Terminal Pale Ale

Brewery: BrewFist
Supplier: Beer52

Another from this Italian brewery, this on being brewed exclusively by them. This is their core low alcohol pale ale, designed for the BrewFist pub "Terminal 1". This is made with a simple base, with some vienna malt, and with Citra, and Summer hops (I had never heard of Summer hops before this). I served this chilled.
Appearance: A golden straw colour with a thin white head that dissipates very quickly. 
Aroma: Very slight hints of citra and honey, but pretty much no aroma. 
Flavour: Citra notes, but without the sweet back, the back is more savoury and almost salty, with hints of lemon.
Body: Very refreshing and light, carbonation just right. 
Aftertaste: Hints of a malt note and an unusual bitterness, not hoppy or malty

Overall: Therefore this gets a rating of 4, a very drinkable beer but with not a huge amount of flavour and not unique. Good for watching the Rugby World cup though as I am now.

Price Range: Another from the box 8 for £14 - so £1.75 for a 330ml bottle; an OK price, good for a heavy drinking session as it is a nice drinkable low alcohol beer.

Food Pairings: Pretty much anything, I'm going to go with tortilla chips for this one.
