3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/2013 Nov 2012: hand-pulled pint in ’The station’ Oakengates.
Light golden body with a healthy looking white crown on top.
Hops all the way here, the malt content hardly gets a look in: the nose is a fruit basket of aromas, semi-citrus with hints of sweetness coming through as well.
The taste is also hop fruitiness dominated with than citrusy feel to the smell coming stronger in the mouth as each sip finishes.
Body depth was OK for 4%ABV and I’d have had another if I wasn’t on a reveiwing mission.
