thanks for the feedback Matt, it wasnt the undercalculated bitterness that was harsh in the background was it?  cheers dude. \m/

[Matt Smith]

No worries. It could have been that, there's been plenty of beers since so it's a little blury now sorry. By the way that last part of my post was meant to say "enjoyable beer all the same".

[Adrian Tayler]

cool. cheers for the swap.

The computer just ate my reply. Uncool. But it went, a little something, like this:

Great appearence out of the bottle. Excellent clarity with a bit of head after a reasonably agressive pour. Settles out quite quickly with the gentle carb and leaves a nice lace.

Aroma had clove, orange and lemon. Tast had a pepperyness to it with fruit flavours of orange peal and papaya. the spicyness might be what some people have noted as phenolics? Richard also asked the question about a warm ferment? Strong bitterness in the finish which reminded us of the euro-largers. backed up with a clean, dry finish.

I drank this without hesitation and enjoyed it. I think the hop flavours ended up a little subdued thoughout but well brewed and refreshing.

 

Cheers,

Jimmy & Richard.
