A Mes rate:
Bottle at Chris O’s Shindig. Dark blonde with a white head. Peaty whiskey aroma with gooseberry and some eggy sulphuric notes. Flavour is not quite so characterful. Hoppy and fairly bland with a flowery finish.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle, at London Shindig, August 2007. Hazy straw colour. Slightly sharp, yeasty aroma. Light bitterness on the palate, with plenty of citrus. Sharp tangy mouthfeel, with a light body. Not bad. Might have suffered from being tasted directly after the Arcadia Cocoa Loco. Might try this one again if I get a chance.
