Easter TEAser
Hog's Back Brewery

Tasted by half pint at the Charles Dickens freehouse, Southwark, S London. From the name it sounds like a Easter special.

A: light tawny hue, coming w/o any sign of beer head, and the texture is slightly flat and served warmer than cool.
S: tangerine-like fruity hops and very light pale-malts come together, but apart from that, very little is left--maybe due to the serving temperature or that the beer is not that fresh?
T: orange-peel and sour-sweet berry like juicy flavour along with a floral hint rests on a nice and mild malty backbone; smooth and lightly grassy hoppy aftertaste, without much bitterness but leaving a slightly dryish tang in the finish.
M&D: the extremely low carbonation makes the texture extra-smooth, nearly watery especially when it gets to the aftertaste. And the body is a bit off-balance where malts and hops don't really mingle seamlessly, though for its mild flavour profile it's not too much of a problem. A very simplistic beer, if not lucklustre, though I think it could be much better when served fresher and/or handled under better care.

Amber colour when poured, white head that subsides quite quickly. The aroma is hoppy, slightly smoky, and has a strange starch tone - almost like egg fried rice.
Taste is estery with bitter hops, and a starchy aftertaste. Beady lacing.
Nice mouthfeel and quite drinkable.
