500ml bottle conditioned, opened on 17th Aug 2015 at home and poured into an Abbot Ale glass tankard. Hazy, dull golden body, deep white blanket of white foam for a head. Over chilled, so no aroma at first, slowly the hops began to give off a pine and citrus nose. The taste is grapefruit flavoured and fairly bitter from the off. The body handles the alcohol well and the hops lead throughout the brew. Decent.
