Enjoy this Mongo-sized wave of hop goodness, from our brewers to you.

Bottle, De Bierkoning, Amsterdam. Awesome looking label as always from Port. Hazy amber pour with a good looking white head. Piney hop and citrus aplenty in the nose. Caramel malt spine alongside a fat sack of hoppage in the flavour which was slightly boozy. Heavyweight mouth coating bitterness. Very pleasurable to drink. RIP the brew cat.

23.10.2013, 0,65l bottle sampled @ BBGTC tasting:
Nice creamy longlasting head. Aroma is fresh fruity, light malts, leafs, grass, hops, sap, hints of dried fruits. Taste is slightly sweet and medical harsh, light malts, harsh hay, cardboard, medicine, leafs, bark, grass, hops. Longlasting bitterness, dry mouthfeel. Not bad, just faded a lot I guess.

Smell of soap and hops. Amber colour, high white head. Very balanced. Hops, spruce. Medium bitter. The basic IPA, not much else.

On tap at CBC2012. Deep golden in the glass, small head. Fruity-sweet aroma. Starts intense hoppy-dry, modest soapy. Finish less gruity, still dry. Okay.

Tap at Angels Trumpet bar it looks like they recently had a Port Brewing tap takeover so lots of things to try from them which I am up to the challenge. Awesome smelling DIPA huge juicy hops of tropical fruits. Tastes of pineapple, mango, grapefruit, caramel, resin, and some fresh pine and grass for good measure. Very bitter and dry on finish. delightful.

Chilled brown bomber poured into a snifter at a JStax tasting. Pour slightly hazy deep golden. Aroma is grapefruit and some pine and taste is herbal pine with slightly bitter finish. Not my thing.

650ml bottle. Hazy amber colour with average to huge, frothy, fully lasting, lacing, off-white head. Resinous, fruity, sweaty hop aroma, citrus, grapefruit, pineapple, mango, tangerine. Taste is fresh, crisp, bitter hoppy, citrusy fruity, solid caramel malty backbone. Great stuff.
