Hoppy enough to bounce you off planets. Well rounded bitterness subtle enough for a low orbit around your palate, but strong enough for a real satisfying drinking trajectory.
This unique beer is special due to very, very heavy late hopping in copper and extra special hops post fermentation. We’ve achieved the biggest hop burst of aroma ever. Massive. Galactic in fact.

22nd July 2016: 33cl bottle at home into a La Chouffe tulip during a ’Random Tasting Evening’ with myself. Light golden pour, mini-haze, white rocky head. Very hop centric with plenty going on if hops are your thing. Not as bitter as I expected, but certainly a hop fest all on its own. Might have over cooled it, because I didn’t get the huge hop aromatic nose they claim. Liked it though.

Bottle. Morrisons. Pale gold, with a light haze. Lots of baby floaters. Thin, lasting, bright white head. Nose has orange and lime rind. Clean malts. A bit steely. Taste is zesty bitter. A little dryness. Bright, lively mouthfeel. Punchy bitter finish. Aroma is a bit muted but it’s pretty decent overall.

Bottle at home from Morrisones ... tipped off by renowned bier expert Sr@ky NortheRner, 12/06/16. Some haze on a golden pour with a decent off white head that dissipates to a swirl and bubbly edgeing. Nose is tangerine, light hop tunes, orange marmalade, straw, toasted grain. Taste comprises bitter orange, light mineral trace, straw, tangerine, melon, light bread. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Ok ... acceptable APA for the price point.
