Bottle bought at the brewery shop. Aroma is herbal and citrus with a tart edge. Clear copper gold. Thick foamy white head. Medium bitter. Tart citrus edge which has tinny element to its detrement. This is over a grainy malty core. Light. Thin. Average-fizzy carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Typical HB for me. Unlike the Black IPA which was a genuinely good modern style beer, this is just a boring lager with hops dumped in with no panache.
