Pours a beautiful golden to amber color, with a healthy head into a straight edged pint glass, with medium lacing as the head recedes.

It claims to be a hoppy amber beer, and the aroma is certainly dominated by hops.

The taste is hoppy also, but with nothing else really, just the hops. Not bad, but not very interesting either. Almost devoid of any sweetness, which is unusual for an 8.1% beer.

It feels good in the mouth, with a little bit of a bit at the end.

33 cl bottle poured into a Chalice glass (caesar augusta glass, very similar to belgoo glass)
App--- hazy yellow/orange colour with a big white head very persistent (foamy and micro-bubbles)
Smell--- honey, malt and a little bit of alcohol and hops (but not so hoppy as the label says)
Taste--- sweet malty, alcohol and not too bitter. Long and dry after taste.
M--- medium body and medium carbonation.
Overall---- not a strong presence of hops (advertise says ‘hoppy’ because the use of 4 hops). Nice ale but nothing special.

Beautiful moss, amber. Power hoppy nose but not citrus. You should know that four types of hops were used to give this power to mouth bitter green highly persistent. There is also an earthy / drug. A good hoppy beer to the power of interest. Neither more nor less.
