Hopback Summer Lightning

Very nice.

Clear, golden pour with good carbonation but this fades quickly and there is not much lace. Mildly disappointed in the look (perhaps a function of the bottling). Very distinct hop aroma with almost a sweet, oak aged or whisky type smell – VERY attractive!

Extremely light drinking, this is well named. Refreshing and initial sweetness is backed up with perfect balance that takes the drinkability to a new level. I am guessing that this suffers a little in the bottle, so, fresher and casked (or even kegged) I’d imagine that this would blow my mind. Has a slight herbal quality, and is smooth as silk.

Final thoughts – can’t wait until I get home to try this.
