(Bottle 65 cl) Courtesy of Storm. Pours a hazy, amber golden with a small, off-white head. Extremely floral hop aroma. Loads of caramel, loads of fruit and a marked aromatic hop bitterness. 150306

Bottled. Hazy amber. Massive grapefruit aroma. Sweet and thick, really full bodied. Sufficient malt to carry the massive hoppiness. Easy going for it’s size, yet very aromatic and flavourful. A juicy hop monster with some level of balance, but also rather one dimensional.

Bottle, 9.2% at LCRBM08. Distinct caramelly aroma, from the hops. The flavour has the same caramelly hoppiness as the aroma along with some sweet flavour. Very nice cleansing bitterness.

with age the hops drop out enough to allow the the sweetness to balance, but is it better?
