12oz bottle from Pick’s poured into a shaker. Bottle says best by September. Pours a burnt orange with about 1 finger of white head. Aroma of citrus hops and a slight ?caramel? malt. Taste is medium bitter with a very light sweet. Very earthy presence. Medium bodied with a slick yet creamy texture. Lively carbonation and a slightly long, bitter finish. Overall, not too bad. I think I like the regular Latitude 48 better though.

12oz bottle pours clear deep copper with near off white head. The aroma is a mix of floral hops, dank basement and spicy hops. The taste has full hoppy spiciness mixing with floral hops, some herbal notes and a dash of lime. I think I need to be in the mood for this one. At the moment it isn’t doing anything for me.

Bottle: Poured a light copper color ale with a nice foamy head with good retention. Aroma of dry ops with nice floral notes is quite amazing. Taste is a well balanced mix between some lightly sweet caramel malt with loads of floral notes with a dry but not astringent hoppy finish. East Kent Goldings are probably one of my favourite hops when they are by themselves. Body is about average with good carbonation. I really love this one and probably at par with the single hops Mikkeller version.

12 oz bottle. Pours amber with a slightly off-white head. Spicy, earthy aroma, light grassiness maybe. Flavor is a mix of caramel malts, earthy, grassy, and citrus hop flavors. Not bad. Definitely becomes more of an amber ale with EKG, but not a bad one.
