An umcompromising beer completely dominated by the grape aroma of American hop varieties. Very bitter, very tasty.

Outstanding, and I'd characterize it as an interesting hybrid of an English and American pale ale. The malts/yeast are pure British: slightly fruity, very present, and with a definite mild butteriness. However, this is chock full of classic American hops: citric, piney, and a bit herbal. Outstanding balance - there's no shortage of malt flavor here, yet it reminds a hophead's delight, esp in the aroma. Nice copperish color, smallish head, short lacing.
