IIRC, it's more in the style of Schiehallion, or Atlas Latitude - quite pine-needly and resinous, but light and clean. Let me know next time you're around, so I can be there, and we'll sort you out.Zak Averyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10650929798289995172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629758183547510158.post-46184326656119251752008-02-27T11:42:00.000+00:002008-02-27T11:42:00.000+00:00Correction.

The bottle I have has an almost identical label to the picture, is best before 30/12/08 and tastes exactly as I describe it, so I wonder if this was a dodgy one? When I tasted the (very) low carbonation, I was doubtful. Only thing I would say is it didn't have any "off" tastes.<BR/><BR/>I was kind of expecting a Tuppers Hop Pocket Pils type taste. This was a million miles off that.Tandlemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06804499573827044693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629758183547510158.post-74073658950246041552008-02-27T11:33:00.000+00:002008-02-27T11:33:00.000+00:00Actually, reading your review in detail, I'd sugge...Actually, reading your review in detail, I'd suggest you may have got a bad bottle. There are tons of hops in it, which you don't seem to have experienced.Stonchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15927490011165896353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629758183547510158.post-13606837934102267252008-02-27T11:32:00.000+00:002008-02-27T11:32:00.000+00:00Couldn't disagree more.

I think it's a great beer, and very bold for a lager.<BR/><BR/>They've changed the label btw.Stonchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15927490011165896353noreply@blogger.com
