Bottle. Hazy golden with a rocky white head. Potent piney hops aroma. Extremely bitter flavours with a punch of pine flavours. A bitter that proves its point.

Exuberant head to say the least, coated the side of the glass and left a nice lacing. Great cloudy orange color. Near perfect hops character. Nice and bitter, but not overwhelming in the least. Very nice bitter beer.

500 ml. Deep golden and hazy with lots of little floaties. Four-finger meringue head leaves lots of nice creamy lace. Bittersweet fresh herb and grain aroma. Initial tastes are of one of the most balanced beers ever. Grain and dry lemongrass on the front, with a slow fade to slight honey and resin on the finish. Resin and lemongrass become more prominent as I delve deeper. Smooth, light-medium body leans to the dry side. Mixing this beer with Old Slug creates a beer that is better than the sum of its parts.

Cask at the White Horse, 9th March 2008. Clear amber appearance with a hoppy, appley aroma. Very dry and hoppy flavour with a crisp and refreshing taste.

The aroma is just toasted grains and yeast. The appearance is amber with a nice foamy head. The flavor is bitter and grainy with cardboard. The palate is average. Wow this is really disappointing.

Aroma is..... nonexistent. Maybe yeast. Very thick bubbly head. Cloudy amber in color, sharp on the palate. Flavor is bitter with citrus and mild hops. Definitely a bitter. Hope it’s better next time.

Pours a slightly fogged gold with a good sized crème head that leaves a mass of lace on the way down. And oops, I got some sediment in the glass. Nose is pretty mild really. Not much going on except slight bitter tone and a mild hop. Flavor is an English bitter for sure. Smooth and consistent, but not very exciting really. Feel has a thicker body to the liquid with an odd sticky texture to it. Decent enough carbonation. Drinkable, sure. It is a good beer. But for the price? A bit too high for one bottle I have to say. Especially for not having any wild character about it.

Pour is a very cloudy golden with a large white head that stays around for awhile. Aroma is a super crisp hop with some biscuit and grass. Flavor is a bit citrus with some lingering hop and pine. Finish is very bitter but smooth. A good sipping beer and at only 4.3% you could a few of these in an evening.
