440ml can. Poured a mostly clear golden colour with a mostly lasting frothy white head. The aroma is grassy, piney, light citrus. The flavour is over moderate bitter, with a crisp, fresh, piney, nettle, light dry pepper spice, big hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. Medium bodied with average carbonation.

The 1950 'B' movie Tom Holt western 'Storm Over Wyoming' sees him taking on a corrupt sheep ranch owner in the now US State. The state of this beer is pretty good, certainly its strength is evident but it's a very hoppy effort too with pine strongest in aroma, but there's enough in taste too to enjoy.

(Draft at Akkurat, Stockholm, 24 May 2025) Pale amber colour with frothy, off-white head. Hoppy nose with notes of citrus, orange peel, grapefruit and resin. Malty, hoppy taste with crisp-bread, citrus, grapefruit, resin, pine needles and a generous citric/resiny bitterness in the finish. Almost full body, with a slight sweetness. Rich, hoppy and fairly bitter. Very nice.

As you would expect, a classic example of a rich and malt driven DIPA. Just lovely.
