I, have enjoyed this beer in many pubs and find it hard to believe Ive not rated it yet. Pale gold with a thick white head. Lovely fresh citrus hop aroma. Stunning flavour of fresh american type hops with grapefruit and sherbert. A fantastic session beer.. DougShoemaker (2856), Toronto, Canada

Aroma is wet, leafy hops, a fine malt reveals itself too, hazy amber. Taste has a fresh fruity compliment to the leafy hops and malt. Light bodied, excellent balance, completely easy to drink. As good a session ale as I’ve had in a long time. swoopjones (1915), Buffalo, New York, USA

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Nov 20, 2008 Hand-pumped at the Wenlock arms in northern London.
Pours a clear golden amber color with a frothy white head. Subtle hop aroma with slight pilsner malt presence. This is a very smooth drinkng beer. It is kind of watred down yet has a creamy characteristic with nice subtle soft hops. Crispy, refreshing nice dry finish but not very bitter.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Sep 22, 2008 on cask @ Wenlock Arms (London). I walked in, checked the badges, and "HOPHEAD" seemed picked out in neon - hel-LO! Slightly hazy light gold pour with an average creamy white lasting head. Very light aroma, but solidly herbal-hoppy backed by slightly sweet oily grain malt. The taste - the same, even more bitter than I expected, and decently acidic - it went down very smoothly; and quickly. The mouthfeel was oily and a touch light, moderately astringent over a soft, verly lightly carbonated base - the herbal hoppiness carries through into a welcome linger - this really takes its time finishing.

OK grassy hop flavour. The bitterness is a little rough. Not that hoppy, and not that good. SaintMatty (1231), Tallinn, Estonia

An incredibly enticing hoppy aroma with some grapefruit notes and a twist of lemon. Bitter and hoppy taste with tangy grapefruit and a lovely hoppy finish. Excellent, so much flavour for the strength. A superb beer. Skinnyviking (4157), Copenhagen, Denmark
