We took a little known hop, German Spalt and gave it the sole opportunity to lead our first single-hop beer. Using an absurd amount of hops, the bouquet is confident without being arrogant and boldly displays both piney and citrusy notes. The golden colour comes from an assortment of pale malts and a touch of wheat. Weighing in at 8.5% alcohol, this beer packs a punch to be remembered and respected. Made in honour of Spartacus, this new beer is an uprising against the oppression of mindless, tasteless, hop-less beers.

Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 6 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 5 | Overall: 5

can from the brewery - clear gold with 1 finger white cap. Aroma is mostly that of cooked cereals, some grassiness. Front side of the flavor profile has a pleasant malt character then the hopping becomes bitter and the whole drinks remains bitter through the finish to a metalic aftertaste and blast of alcohol. A very 2 dimensional beer with a bizare flavor profile - over boiled hops that simplly provide pointless bitterness, alcohol is hot and poorly hiddden. This is one welly experiment that flopped.
