Boxing Day 2012 and the house is quiet again as our Christmas guests have left: I'm at one with the world and Grimsby Town have just won 4-1 at Lincoln: great.

Anyway I've got a 500ml bottle BBD of 25 Jan 2014 and poured it into an 'Old Speckled Hen' badged vase shaped pint glass.

Pale yellow/golden body with a slight haze to it: on top a full white crown of foam.

Piney hop nose and taste: crisp, tangy and zingy. Citrus hints arrive as the beer warms a little in the glass. Nice blend of flavours with a malty understated presence ensuring this isn't just about the hop content. Fruity notes throughout add to the complexity of the taste and enjoyment of the brew. OK more than brilliant.

Serving type: bottle
