Appearance:
Pours with a burnt orange/yellow straw colour. The straw colour coming through on the highlights. Pure white head with tight bubbles. Slight chill haze, but clearing out slowly. It's a good looking beer.
Aroma:
Now I am not sure how old the beer is, but there is a decent hop character on the nose. Quite a fruity nose, I pick up ripe mango/strawberry, a bit of grass/onion notes and a bit of dankness. All followed up by a good malt/bready backbone.
Mouthfeel:
A good solid mouthfeel, bit on the meaty/chewy end, which I quite enjoy. Carbonation is spot on, vigorous but not overpowering. Keeps the flavours dancing on the palate. Nice sweet finish with a hint of dryness on the end.
Flavour:
Good upfront bitterness, which eases into a sweet malt/bready finish. There is a bit of residue sweetness on the palate as the beer goes down, leaving a subtle bitterness which make the beer moreish. Fruity hops on the palate, kiwi fruit/grass/hint of mango and strawberry. The flavour is a bit more malt and bitterness driven with subtle fruit hop character.
Overall:
The beer has a great hop forward nose, while on the palate is is more malt/bitterness driven with fruity hop highlights. I would love to have had this beer fresher so that the hops could shine, but even now the hop character is good, sweet/dry finish and malt backbone, the beer is very moreish and goes down smoothly. Great beer Zane!
