Moor, Hoppiness

Easily one of my favourite beers at the moment (deserving of an extra photo)! 660ml of fruity bitter goodness. Justin at Moor really knows his onions - I'm not sure I've had anything from him that I haven't liked. I first tried Hoppiness a while back now (more or less on a whim: it's described as part barley wine on the label which I hadn't really experienced and I must admit it wasn't without a certain degree of trepidation that I picked up this particular beer, but I'm extremely glad I did!) and was fortunate enough to be able to get hold of a couple more from Mr Lawrence. Unfined (of course) natural beer, a hazy, burnt orange in colour, frothy head, super nose (zesty and citrusy), and a decent malt smoothness gives way to a blistering long bitter ending. A jolly satisfying drink. Strong at 6.7% and best to share it I reckon! (Well, on a weeknight at least.)
