Unique

Grew up in England and developed a taste for English ales. Traveled a lot to Belgium and surrounding countries and grew to appreciate these European styles. Traveled to USA a fair bit, starting in the dark days when it was a beer desert, and then enjoying the flourishing microbrewery scene. Moved in 1994 to Australia which was then a beer desert, so grew to appreciate the excellent Aussie wines and my own homebrew. Now there is a flourishing microbrewery scene in Aus, which is great. I travel a lot to Asia, which was generally grim for beer, although with some interesting pockets of excellence there if you looked hard; but now several countries have good craft beers. I was a RateBeerian for 18 years (Oct 2007 until its demise in 2025), with username Pyobon.

(Can) Pours slightly hazy golden with decent white head. Lovely aroma - stone fruit with hints of caramel and lemon. Great mouthfeel. Smooth medium body with great carbonation. Good tasting beer too. Plenty hops. Nice stone fruit flavours upfront. Caramel malt. Peppery notes. Nice hoppy bitter finish. Very good.
