Bottle. Hop Hideout, Sheffield. Hazy, pale amber. Film of sticky, white head. Fusty stuff, this. Mandarin. Peach stone. There’s some plum type fruit to it. Some pine. Sweet, grainy malts at the back. Taste is full on, piny bitter. Palate is oily, and carbonation is soft. Finishesostly big, long bitter, with a little sweetness on the lips. Slightly weird Toilet Duck thing going on, but I didn’t mind this.

Dark Brownish Amber, Gushing Out Of A Bottle and Ten You Are Able To Pour It, Settles For A Head That Is Slightly Above Average. It Does Not Last And Diminishes to A Thin Ring Leaving Light Spotty Lacing. Muted Strange Hop Aroma. Tastes A Lot Better. Sweet Malt, Grapefruit, Resin, Pine Hop. Lasting and Pleasant Bitter Hop Aftertaste. Medium Body, Oily. Hides High ABV Well. Enjoyed It. Nice. Recommended...
