Bright golden. Spicy, minerally aroma is very appetizing. Mild, light spicy bitterness. Great interplay of juicy hops and hard water. Lots of subtle beauty in this one. Better in London, though.

Re-rating: Dry bittersweet chocolate flavors dominate here, with a mild sweetness up front and a dry finish. Clean yeast profile, light on hops. Nice beer if boring.

Very bitter - almost a metallic taste (common in some high hop beers). A bit harsh, but otherwise an interesting and intense bitter. Nice reddish brown color and firm creamy head that lasted most of the glass.
