Sven's Revenge
Rooster's Brewing Co. Ltd.

Tried by half pint recently at the Market Porter, London. The name gives a clear hint at England football team's world cup adventure, but I don't know which team this revenge was targeted at... as there can be so... many! 8-p

A: clear, dark golden hue, coming with a nice foamy with very good retention and low carbonation--fresh and healthy.
S: citric hops dominate the nose, with flowery hints of American hops and some hints of pear-drop; the malt entry is of secondary order and hides at the back.
T: floral as well as juicy but mild grapefruity (not zesty though) hoppyness highlights a smooth bed of faintly bitter-sweet maltiness; hoppy finish with a touch of zesty bitterness.
M&D: clean & crisp on the mouthfeel, this is a med.-minus bodied, balanced, and reasonably tasty Blond Ale/Bitter to quaff while watching the remaining matches by England in this World Cup (preferrably while playing Argentina/Germany, I'd say)! The overall performance is better than the Greene King's three world cup beers, but again, this one is for hopheads and GK's beers are for more traditional tastebuds.
