Hop Horizons

First tasted this bitter at the Hogshead, Paisley in June 1999. Cask, handpump dispense. Clear copper in colour with a thin white head. Slight malt note in the nose, thin mouthfeel and good lacing. Pale malts give a rich digestive teabiscuit flavour like Tetleys. Slight hint of dry raisin fruit but this fades fast. Hop resins add a bitter edge to t

Rediscovered rating found on a scrap of paper. Some time in March 2004. Venue unknown. Not much aroma. A fairly pale coloured session bitter with decent balance of citrus and fruity malt. Fair amount of flavour for strength and style. Does what it needs to pretty well. RIP.
