Taste Notes

Like angels dancing on your tongue. Possibly the lightest cleanest beer I have ever made. I am really pleased with the lightness in colour and flavour of this beer yet with a soft floral note at the end. The ineffective dry hopping (due to the use of old Saaz hops) means that it ends up with a simple clean finish. The balance is good enough that it hides the alcohol, with tasters guessing a 4% but really good tasting beer.

Notes

Old Saaz were used in the secondary, which added nothing.
