Weird Beard Co, Mariana Trench

First discovered on cask at the Westow House Beer Fest, I was impressed by the fresh and powerfully zesty nature of this beer for its low abv: a lot more impact than a traditional British pale ale - largely due, I suspect, to 'modern' (US style?) hopping techniques. In a bottle it was marginally less impressive, which is to be expected I suppose. However, still a great tasting session beer, that, in a 500ml bottle, represents great value for money. It was better after it warmed a little and had a long, satisfying bitter aftertaste.
