Bitter, hoppy, moreish taste with a bit of fruit and spice as well as peach. I could drink a lot of this and indeed have done in the past! Still impresses me.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jan 23, 2010 Pours a amber color. Off white head that quickly goes to a heavy lace. Aroma of hop malt floral spruce. Lower carbonation. Hop malt flavor, very smooth. The finish is bitter, but not overly bitter. Stops just before crossing the line from bitter to sour for my taste buds. A very nice brew. BBB63 (4350), La Porte, Indiana, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Jan 22, 2010 From Secret Santa and served in no-nik pint glass: Deep golden hue with a big fluffy head which left very good lace upon the glass. The aroma has notes of grassy and herbal hops, pale and light toasted malts, hint of honey and corn. The taste has a moderate noble (Saaz?) and high alpha (Chinook?) bitterness along with dusty yeast and soft malts. Continued earthy and slightly spicy hops towards the adjunct finish. The mouth feel is lively and mostly crisp minus a tad bit of chalkiness. Overall, a solid enough bitter ale but do not looking for a classic English styled here, more like bitter crossed with pils hybrid. Nisse666 (693), Göteborg, Sweden
