Now, generally I hate hipsters and the beer they drink! After all, I had a beard before it was cool, indeed, before you'd even heard of beards. This however is a notable exception. It's bold, you can taste the cloves, orange peel, wheat, and coriander, but somehow it's pleasant, even tasty. This Welsh pint weighs in at 4.8%, which, while slightly higher than I would like, keeps it crisp and refreshing. Even the bottle is svelte, seeming to scream, 'Drink me not as a beverage, but as an experience!' While it doesn't quite make it into the session beer category, I can imagine having one on a fairly regular basis. Possibly as a sort of dessert pint, or palate cleanser between other types of beer. That having been said, it will not be to everyone's taste. Everyone should try it, but at least half would never go back for a second pint. A solid 7.5/10 and a definite desire to see what else Otley produces.
