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.

This beer is on another planet.

Bottle from Morrisons, consumed at home sat down the garden after a BBQ Saturday 11th June 2016 It’s dark dark gold with a slim white head. Hoppy, fruity beer, a little boiled sweet and a touch dusty. Not as fresh or zappy as I hoped it would be. A6 A4 T7 P3 Ov13 3.3

Slightly hazy yellow beer. White head. Sharp citrus aroma. Taste is mellower than I anticipated. Citrus, biscuit, bitter hop. Nothing special but a good, solid pale ale.

Bottle from Morrisons. Straw and mostly clear with a small white head. Big hit of grapefruit with a note of soap. An uncompromising bitter taste at first but it softens to almost a slight sweetness. Turns bitter for the finish again. Hard citrus in the aftertaste. Not bad at all.

330ml bottle from Ales by Mail. Pours hazy yellow, a few floaters, and a thin white head. Aromas of cheesy hops, citrus. Taste is woody, lime, touch of burnt rubber. Sweet finish. Not a fan of this one, from a brewery I normally rate quite highly.

Light haze on this gold beer, small white head. Palate is dry and mildly crisp. Thin malts, not that sweet. Citric pith bitterness. Touch of orange. Little hop spice. Semi dry finish. Medium bitter linger. Very pithy and pretty bitter.
