Kohinoor (Windsor & Eton)

Pops open with the lightest fizz, gentle carbonation gives almost a cask like head. The colour is bright copper or brass, like a well polished medal.

Big aroma of tropical hops, similar to the fantastic Windsor Knot, but more subtle and hints fragrant spices. (supposedly Jasmine petals as added, I can't spot them but a more delicate nose might be able to)

The malt arrives with a very gentle caramel sweetness that is very soon flooded by tropical bitterness, no sharp stamp, just a mouth filling overpowering of hops. It's only 5% but tastes like a much bigger Abv IPA.

The finish long, lingering, slightly dry but with a tanginess that intrigues and shouts for one more sip.

10/10 Flawless. A truly wondrous use of hops, tropical, fruity and very original.
