Cask (Black Door, Helsinki)<br /> Slightly hazy deep orange, large loose head. Beautiful noble hop hoppy aroma, some slight black tea, and a decent malty component too. Huge fruit ester taste, plenty of malts, but masses of noble hops - all very well integrated together. Long nutty bitter finish. Classic English bitter - good one Hop Back.
