Jul 28, 2008 22oz bottle in a trade with someone not on the site. One of my favourite breweries. Almost picked this up in Portland OR and kicked myself ever since that I didn’t. Pours a very slight hazy reddy russet with a thick beige head, that lasts and lasts thanks to the carbonation. Drunk whilst watching Australia vs New Zealand in the Tri Nations rugby. The hop aroma is lovely. Great grapefruit piney resiny. Due to the rich red fruit on the malts this balances the hop well. Reminds me of SN Celebration, but this is better. The alcohol isn’t obvious in the beer, but is on my legs. It’s a good hoppy strong ESB style beer. Enormously competent and drinkable even at 8.5%. I do like the combination of strong but balanced sticky hop. But I would definitely have this again. Not overly bitter on end. Considering the amount of hop used, I’m impressed that they never get out of hand. By the way Australia won one of the best games of rugby union that I have seen. God I love those hops.

Apr 16, 2008 A Mes rate: Bottle at Tom’s UGT Pt. 2.
An attractive cloudy dark amber colour with a thin white head. Big hoppy aroma with some lovely earthy malt underneath and some nice spice and pepper notes. Similar flavour but with hints of cereal. Nice and dry spicy finish. Excellent mouthfeel, prickly but not over carbed. Good beer.
