Otto Thebeerdude –
A hazy golden beer with a lazing yellowish head. The aroma has notes of hops, spices, malt, and citrus fruits. The flavour is sweet with notes of hops, spices, malt, and citrus fruits, leading to a nice malty background with some caramel, lovely fruitiness, a berry aspect, with a bitter finish.
Christopher Leno –
Crisp, fragrant and golden this has a pleasant bitter taste amongst the heavy hop flavour.
David Gouldson –
A very good, enjoyable IPA.
