Commercial Description:
Introducing Cold Hop British-style ale, a unique ale with a rich golden hue, and the 7th release in our Looking Glass Series of specialty beers. Cold Hop's pleasantly fruity, floral hop aroma and earthy flavor perfectly balance the mild sweetness of the English grains, resulting in a refreshing yet high-gravity British-Style ale.

I liked this one better than the hazed and infused. Poured a clear copper color with a nice white head. Aroma of citris and hopps. Very well done ale with a great balance. Hints of orange and corander. Fine dry finish that’ll have you reaching for you glass fast.

Gold color with white head. Hoppy nose (citrus) and a similar but somewhat dimished body. Not too sweet and a little grainy.

[619-20070914] 1pt6floz (w/ blankboy, jerc, tupalev). Light apricot and grainy boozy malt aroma has some fruit hints. Clear, amber brown body with a medium-lasting creamy off-white head. Boozy green leafy-fresh hops has mild grain citrus notes. Medium body has a bit of a bitter finish. Nice hoppy beer.

12oz bottle, courtesy of argo0. Thanks, Aaron! Pours a bright orange color, slightly hazy; off-white head with large-bubbled retention. Oily, resiny hops in the aroma: passion fruit and grapefruit; very oily and fresh; lacks a bit of density. Pleasant, oily hops upfront (passion fruit, oranges); medium mouthfeel and light carbonation; very minimal malt background with a decent hop character; slight astringency coming through. Medium, oily hop and dusty citrus finish.

Thin head which does not last long. Nice hoppy aroma with some strange dog foodish aroma. Kind of vegetal with some malts and a bit of rotten grass. Not a very good aroma. Medium hazy orange in color. Sweet malts and some spicy hops in the flavor. Still kind of sickly sweet and is not sitting real well in my stomach. Finishes bitter and malty. I don’t know about this one. Just not sitting well with me.

Thanks to Notalush for sharing his beer with me! This one is slightly hazy, with a large-bubble, soapy head. Quite a decent beer overall, IMHO. Lot of floral hops in the flavor. It is quite smooth and just slightly bitter. It is a mild bitter, as it should be. Its very easy to drink.

Bomber poured into an imperial pint glass - hazy orange beer, with a slight bit of froth on the top - semi-sweet, bready aroma, with some toasty qualities, a touch of gingerbread - soft carbonation - a tiny bit spicy up front, beginning more like a hoppy american pale - a biscuity british maltiness quickly tastes it’s place, as a few hops stick around, making the beer taste very bitter-like - - somewhat metallic and acidic in the middle - a bit of tangy orange flavor, a long-lingering biscuity/toasty taste, and some light cereal/grains - not really an english strong - more like a high gravity bitter.
