A nice aroma to this beer in which you can detect chocolate as well as a more floral scent thanks to the aromatic (cascade?) hops. The taste is initially quite rich but is a lot more subtle after your first sip. The grapefruit and pineapple notes are there along with a more roasted and chocolate flavour. A very nice beer.

Cask- A beautiful and incredibly inviting aroma of pineapples and other tropical fruits await you as you initially encounter this beer. The taste is fairly hoppy and citrussy with grapefruit being particularly noticeable. This is one of the best single hop beers I have ever had. Beautiful.

Bottled. Clear ruby beer with a creamy, off-white head. Fruity aroma with peach notes, and also hints of chocolate and coffee. Sweet and quite fruity flavour with a nice balance of black malt bitterness of that charcoal-y kind that I love.

Cask gravity at St Albans BF 2007. Copper colour with lasting beige head. A little caramel/butter on aroma. Settles down to a slightly watery bitter, bit of tingly hop on end. Greenish hop grows on the finish, leaving the impression of having sucked on a hop flower. On the whole, very enjoyable with fresh hop drying finish.

(Cask at GBBF, London, 9 Aug 2007) Golden yellow colour with creamy white head. Fruity nose with notes of citrus and grapefruit, floral notes of hops. Fruity taste with citrus (grapefruit, lemon) and a long, slightly sweet finish with lots of citrussy hops. Nice hop character.

[i]Picked this up from Beers of Europe [/i] Poured dark brown, not much of a head. Aroma a little bit fruity (Dark fruits steeped in something strong) tasted pretty much as expected quite malty, rich dark stewed fruits, alcohol occasionally noticeable but quite refined really. A nice beer but not particularly memorable.
