Serve in English pint

On draught at Marzoni’s. Nice grapefruity aroma, light and fruity, with heavy resin and pine. Hop oils and dead sugary malt. Subtley a knockout. Hazy medium-dark amber with thin foamy lacing off-white head. Medium watery body and light-medium carbonation. Starts dry and heavily bitter with huge hop notes. Mild sweet maltiness, light grains, but this bitter is big on hops. Oily resinous finish with lingering sugary malt. Big bitter after that curls the tongue. Good stuff. I think for the style it was a bit hoppy, but maybe if this were hand pumped to kill the carbonation, the bitterness would not be as prominent.
