Bottled, presumably not bottle conditioned and presumably hops in the form of hop oil
pours a crystal clear golden body with decent enough white head

Bought from a branch of Sainsbury's in London. From their premium 'Taste the difference' range of F+B, so this should be something a bit special. 500ml bottle. BB 20/7/19
L Very deep amber. Some rising CO2 into thin head that clears to lacing.
S Fruity notes likely from hops [citra etc?].
T Citrus, dry, very dry, into a very dry hop-filled end. Wow, a hop-bomb! My wife sitting across the room hearing me observed 'You ok, sounds like you've eaten a chili or something?'
M Crikey this might be one of the dryer beers I've had in years. I just involuntary shuddered swallowing the last mouth-full.
O If you are REALLY into your hops then you might enjoy this. To me the hops blow any other facet almost right out the equation which for me is a shame. So I went from a waft of citrus to a hop-wall, with nothing standing out between the two. I'll drink it up [for research purposes ;)] but won't be buying it again, it's way too dry for me.
p.s. the lable refers to a 'cocktail of citrusy hop varieties including citra and cascade. ... Heavy hopping in this bold brash blast of Americana' - Yep, no kidding!
- A pic of the lable might follow if I manage to 'get it up' later...
