2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
Tap at Belmont Station: Pours light clear yellow color with thin white head. Very cerealy nose with a hint of floral hops. Flavor is surprisingly lager like with tons of fresh grain and bready flavor, tastes just like a pilsner or a golden. Very light hop bitterness with a little bit more hop flavor at the end which is the only part where i get any notes of this being an english bitter, just the slight smooth floral english hop note right at the end.

3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
On tap at the PDX Green Dragon. Pours gold with a soft white head. Very hoppy brew. I think this is what De Ranke XX Bitter would taste like if they fermented with a non-Belgian yeast strain, (hint, please try this recipe with a Belgian yeast strain :) ). Grassy hops meld with a honey and bready malt flavor. Very nice brew.
