Bottle from Bernie's, Solihull, a clear straw yellow pour, with a short-lived head and no lace. A hop bomb indeed and the combination works well. A lovely hoppy, yet smooth bitterness with a nice long lived spicy aftertaste. Worth it's rating. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Pours golden yellow with a lively 3 finger head a lot of carbonation the head almost disappeared after a couple of gulps. There is a feint hop aroma not a bomb, good bitter taste throughout with only a slight citrus undertone nice beer I was expecting something different.
