Review and Tasting

Sampled on 17/10/2016

Appearance:

(sample can BBE 07/Nov/16) Hazy, deep amber with a retentive thick off-while head and stopped lacing.

Aroma:

Ruby red orange and lime zest with passion fruit and light piney hops.

Taste:

Tropical fruit, zesty grapefruit and lemongrass with muscular hop flavour and resinous hops bitterness.

Aftertaste:

Long, lingering zesty grapefruit and resinous hops bitterness.

Overall:

Fruity – citrus and tropical, with assertive hop flavour and bitterness – perhaps a little too assertive for some.
