Bold & exciting with an explosion of flavour. Dry hopped twice with Galaxy & Simcoe hops, herbal & pine notes punch through bitter citrus. Pale & carapils malts restore balance with a subtle sweetness. Momentous.

330ml bottle: BBE Sep 2019. Bought in a dodgy Off-Licence in Brixton and drank at home on 10th Aug 2019. Golden amber body, clean and clear, off-white lasting head. Caramel lead to the nose and taste with some citrus fruit esters also. Flavours are semi-sweet from the caramalt and semi-citrus bitter from the Galaxy and Simcoe hops, light piney resinous hints too. Liked it.

33cl bottle from my local Londis. A bright amber pour with a loose whitish head; caramel aroma with some piney hops; rather soapy in the mouth, with a light herbal bitterness, some biscuity malts and some caramel; then a slight warmth in the finish. Pleasant.
