22 oz bomber from bvc. Pour is a slight hazed orange golden with a big three inch white head. Head falls slow with some nice lacing. Aroma is lightly sweet caramel malt along with a resinous earthy floral hops. Taste is the reverse of the nose, flinty resinous hops right away -acidic and very earthy. The malt is present though certainly behind the hops. Palate is medium bodied, mineral flint dry finish, a bit dirty in the long lingering finish. Nice one, thanks Brandon.

Draught. Orange deep with white head. Strong hop smell, naartjies and seville oranges. Floral flavour, hoppy without being a hop bomb, well balanced. Very bitter, but not overly so.
