Juicy, exciting fruit flavours before an intense bitterness as sharp as a Macaw’s screech.
Hopped with: Summit and Amarillo.

Bottle. It’s a clear, dark golden beer with an off-white head of moderate size. Some lacings. The aroma is mostly fruity, but there’s a touch of butterscotch and toffee in the back. Flowers, tropical fruits and a peppery touch. Medium to full body with a nice carbonation level, semi-dry. Toffee-ish, almost buttery malts with a fine nuttyness in the flavor. Quite bitter flavor with some tropical fruits and a flowery hint. Bitter, fruity finish. Especially considering the ABV it’s a nice one, but it’s not extraordinary in any way. 131214

Bouteille(@Sainsbury’s, British Empire):Clear, light amber coloured with a stable mid-sized off-white head, citric to exotic-fruity hoppy nose with a pretty faint touch of cough-syrup; moderate to solid dry bitter-sweet flavour, almost medium bodied; distinctive fruity and malty traces in the mainly dry bitter-hoppy finish. A very nice brew…
