3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
0.66l bottle. This looks pretty much the same as the so’hop really; bright golden, blurry in the glass with a medium to small just off-white top. The nose is a bit lower though. It’s fruity, I get tones of peaches, caramel and fresh hops. Definitely nice enough. It has a soft small prickling carbonation level and a somewhat thin almost watery lightdrinkable mouthfeel. The flavors are also really likable in this. Fresh grassy hops with a subdued fruitiness lurking in the background. Some soft caramel gives it a nice sweetness and it feels really balanced. If I had better access to this it could easily become my lawnmower beer. Of course I would first get a lawnmower and a lawn. 28.03.2013
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
UPDATED: MAY 2, 2013 A pleasing mid colour gold with a vibrantly active head. Not very aromatic, lightly astringent, not a great palate, the kind of ale a larger drinker could go for. Quite bitter but quite refreshing also, not amazing.

Decent hoppy beer, could use a small boost, but overall it’s decent to good, specially cause I was suspecting some bad beer for sure. A small surprise.
