2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
[500ml bottle, The Bottle, York] Pours a clear gold, thin white head. Thin aromas of grassy hop. Not a great deal of hop on the palate – mostly fruity malt akin to a traditional bitter. Trace of hop on the end but not really enough for the IPA pigeonhole [17062008]
