Amber colour with thin lacy head. Aroma and flavour have got a lot of strong skunky notes. Seems really resinous and overly bitter. Hard to believe it’s only 32IBU. BB 16JUN2017

Has a fairly punchy resinous hop aroma. Perfectly carbonated. Lastingly bitter with touches of caramel and malts. Well balanced and sessionable.

Bottle shared at home with Mrk. Bottle kind courtesy of the brewery, many thanks. Near clear bronze amber. Very hoppy nose! Fruity hops up front, citrus, canned peach and pineapple, some resiny hops as well, light nutty coca cola like notes. Toasted caramel malts, caramel. Medium sweet, light bitterness. Medium body, soft sparkly carbonation. Doughy and yeasty notes in the otherwise sweet finish. Very nice!
