This is supposedly a "saison" inspired beer, Saison's (seasonal ales) were brewed in the autumn or winter to quench the thirst of farm workers during summer harvest. Traditionally strongly hopped to preserve the beer.
This beer is brewed with Nelson hops but is not an overly hop flavoured beer. It does have a pleasant maltiness and distinct almost "spicy" flavouring I suspect from yeast esters. Nice golden colour with a medium head. All in all quite a nice beer.
SCORE 3.8
This is a very tasty, very hoppy but most enjoyable IPA. Lovely amber colour with a big long lasting head. The hops aroma is evident on pouring and the taste is not surprisingly of hops.
Brewed with English pale ale malt & caramalt together with American Cascade, Centennial, Columbas and Simcoe hops. This is the strongly flavoured kind of beer that I love drinking. I will most definitely buy again.
SCORE 4.5
