3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Cask in Blackfriars. This is a one veriety hop i believe, from thier one english hop verity series. Aroma starts of very earthy and mixed, however as it drinks goes onto piney, lightly zesty biscuity toffee malts. Taste has a decent hearty malt backing, spicey toffee notes, slightly hop resin and a wee bit of tart blackcurrent notes. Quite an intresting beer.
