3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Medium-dark amber, fizzy pour with a white dissipating head. Aroma: hops, malty caramel, pepper, apple, woody, moderate grapefruit and grass. Taste and mouthfeel: fizzy and slightly dry. Sweet and bitter and nicely balanced. By far the best of the Hilden brews for me.
3.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Half, by hand pump, shared at NWAF. Clear copper coloured body, film-type layer. Half-dry fruity nose. Some fresh taste of lemony hops with smooth malty sweetness behind. Mid-dry, bitter endnotes. Quite well bodied. Satisfying (Manchester, 25.01.2013).

3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Cask at the Porterhouse, Temple Bar. Light amber/gold with decent white head that lasts the distance. Aroma is a nice citrus hit with a touch of orange, slight grassy note, bit of sweet malt. Taste is citrus (lemon especially), light tangerine, and bit of grapefruit; nice biscuit and caramel character from the malt. Very well balanced. Good degree of citric hop zing in the aftertaste, nice crisp bitter finish. A great pale ale which I was fortunate to get in tip-top fresh condition.

Bottle. Appearance: Golden orange, small white head. Aroma: floral, quite hoppy ! A little sweet, again wonderfully floral. Flavour: decently hopped with a nice grain backbone, floral with a little a little sourness and spice, slightly slick mouth feel with a nice hoppy finish. Very very good.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
[cask at the Stockbridge Tap, Edinburgh] Pours clear gold with a decent white head. Quite hoppy on the nose, pithy citrus and some lighter grassy elements. Similar flavours, before a dry, bitter finish arrives. Some sweeter fruit in there as well, but – as you’d expect for a beer with the name Twisted Hop – it has more of the bitterness about it [03102012]

On cask at Cloisters. Pours a golden colour with a fair white head. Aroma of lemon, pineapple and caramel. Similar flavours with mild carbonation and a nice dry finish.
