hughie (3992) - Bedford, Bedfordshire, ENGLAND - AUG 16, 2008
Gold with a white head. Citric hop aroma, later developing some caramel malts. Sharp hoppy taste. Have now tried all five Concrete Cow beers. Only the Black Monk was a disappointment. Otherwise this relatively new Milton Keynes brewery has made a very sound start. Credit to ’Spoons for featuring them on a regular basis.
