The very first beer tasted (by half-pint) at the London Drinker's beerfest., 22/03/06. Gravity-dispensed. According to the festival programme, this is a "Festival Special", so I felt so privileged to get to taste it~~

A: dark yellowish hue, very pale... low carbonation with great clarity.
S: HUGE aroma of flowers and lychee fruits: I wonder if Cascade hops are used? a twist of grapefruit peel at the back, on top of a very mild but still noticeable malty base.
T: bitter-sweet grapefruity flavour dominates the palate, backed by subtle, toasted maltiness, while a zesty tang and herbal bitterness intensifies without limits... towards a lon...g and satisfying hoppy-bitter finish.
M&D: soft and balanced bodied, delicate fizziness, superbly lingering bitterness... I could drink it ALL DAY, be it rain or shine!! I've finally found another Dark Star product which beats its own legendary Hop Head. Great one-off--if only they'd make it a regular~~
