Taste Tests

This is an all-round excellent beer, satisfying everyone who's tasted it. We've passed it around quite a bit, and it was enthusiastically drunk both by people who don't like domestic beers, as well as those who normally wouldn't drink anything but.

The beer has a nice darker amber colour, and a light, hoppy flavour.

Definitely worth making again.
