It's a Spring Ale, only available for a few months and packs a fair whallop for such a pale ale. There's an incredible hoppiness to it eveident as soon as the the beer is poured. It took me straight back to my dad's attepts at home brewing. There is more depth to it than expected, and isn't too dried by the hops. There's the expected freshness to it, but perhaps it might go down better as a summer brew once the weather starts to get hot and the hops refresh the palate. I'd give it 6 out of 10. Trader Woody
