Not for the faint of heart – or the forgetful – the Amnesiac is a big beer with massive amounts of hops and a ton of flavour and aroma.

Bottled. Brownish amber, dense head. Lychee aroma. Sweet and malty. The hop flavour seems to accelerate when you sip the beer, and so does the maltiness. The mouthfeel is soft, and the finish packed with hop bitterness. An over-the-top beer that manages to be in control.

Golden-amber colour, with some odd floaties. Big hop aroma - woody, grapefruity with some chewy, nutty malt. Palate is more of the same, with the balance perhaps leaning even more to the hop. I like that they didn’t overcompensate with crystal or other dark malts - just let the light pale malt work with the big hops. Very nice.
