Hopdaemon - Incubus4.00ExcellentOn gravity, great best bitter which hits all the right notes. Hoppy taste grows and grows - nutty with some fruit and sweetness that offsets the initial bitterness. Nice.
Hop Back - Summer Lightning5.00GoodNot bad, but it's been better here. Nearing the end of the barrel methinks.
