Review and Tasting

Sampled on 31/05/2017

Appearance:

(sample can best before 16/Mar/18) Clear, golden amber with a retentive off-white head and light lacing.

Aroma:

White blossom floral aromas and pungent piney hops with cut grass.

Taste:

Medium-bodied. Assertive resinous pine hop bitterness with cut grass.

Aftertaste:

Bitter pine resins linger on the long finish.

Overall:

This IPA may have a session strength of a mere 4.5% alc./vol. but has generous bitter piney hops – a tad too generous perhaps.
