Holgate Hopinator Double India Pale Ale 7.0%
Bottled on 1 March, 2011.
a) Pours a rich, russet/chestnut hue. Creamy offwhite head, very faint fine bead.
s) Big caramel hit first up, with resinous followup. Floral, honeycomb, savoury biscuit like vitawheat or bbq shapes (nice).
t) Pine resin is noticable, some licorice/molasses, toffee. Big flavour, hint of alcohol. Good assertive bitterness.
m) Lightly syrupy. Long, cloying back palate, good length.
d) A great autumnal beer. Rich & rewarding. Would limit it to two pints max, or 4 halves, which would be the ideal way to drink it.
