Bottle very kindly passed on by Nigel (Hopshackle brewer) Many thanks Nigel, shared with friends at Merton Summer Beer Festival July 17th 2010 Yet again, apologies for sketchy notes, I was rating on my phone a criminal offence in Loz’s eyes. Pours hazy gold in fact veering towards orange. This is a beer that will really divide opinion, Nigel said that he liked it but there were plenty who couldn’t get on with it all and found it too much, Nigel also suggested that it could probably be kept for a little while and the aggressive hoppiness might just soften. Well I can tell you this is indeed very aggresively hoppy, quite dry and leaves a furry bitterness across a tongue that has just been totally ravaged by a huge hoppy onslaught. Not really my thing, but very interesting and great to try. Heaven help the next beer we try as this has just rendered my taste buds out of action temporarily. A6 A4 T5 P3 Ov11 2.9
