May 28, 2008 341ml bottle, 4.8% a/v
Tasted after reading a profile in TAPS magazine.
Pours a very well carbonated light golden colour. Not a very large head however, could be due to poorly washed glassware (IE, With jetdry)
The nose is very bready and surprisingly very little hops in the smell. The taste is another story, starts off with a chewy malt/bread taste which is rapidly transformed into a very nice bitter hops taste. From there the mouthfeel is above average and the aftertaste is delightful and stays with you. This is certainly not a beer for you if you aren’t a fan of hops. I however am a fan of hops, and so I am a fan of this brew as well.

Apr 8, 2008 Tap at Volo. Pale golden beer, thick white head. Aroma is great. Fresh pale straw aroma, sweet floral hoppiness and lots of soft pilsner malt. Sweet maltiness but with a crisp bitterness on the back. Soft floral hop flavour. It’s not a massively hopped pils, but it’s quite nice. Very floral with a soft herbal bitterness.
