Half pint, reviewed at the Great British Beer Festival 4th Aug 2010. This beer is dry hopped and has five different varieties in the brew. The colour is a pleasant reddy amber, the head almost pure white, but not quite. Hops dominate the smell, but not enough to put you off trying to find other notes (none of which I could find). The taste has a hoppy bite which gets stronger all the time the beer is in the mouth, and also as the mouth dries in the aftertaste. There is a malt input, but very mild in strength, nicely blended, but a beer with more hops than malts within.
