This is my favourite beer of all time from any source, (brewed by me to my taste preferences). It is rich and malty with copious flavour from the pungently herbal but delicately grassy hops. It is a lustrous coppery amber in colour with a dense off-white head and strong lacing. At 6% ABV is gives a warm glow and never fails to make the drinker a sigh of contentment, but is not too strong to stress the yeast or be a danger to sensible drivers. 

I gave out one bottle of this to about a dozen beer-loving friends and family for Christmas and without exception rather than thinking I was a cheapskate each recipient contacted me to rave about the beer and learn more about it.

The simple ingredients list should make this an easy brew for a beginer looking to try an AG brew, since the OG is high an ineficient mash would not be a problem.
