I had a much different experience with this brew than others have - came out of the hand pump surprisingly clear - in fact, had I not seen the draw myself, I might have though they gave me a draught pour by mistake - perhaps that is why I did not taste the dull and musty yeast notes and muddled character that others did - for me, the hops were center stage, especially in the finish - fruity, crisp and vibrant - this played well with the rather prominent ester profile - there was some breadiness - a bit of baked apple and spice - but again, the hops had a nice bite at the end that washed the heaviness away - I enjoyed it.
