Presented in a Champagne style bottle, Maca has been attracted to this beer for some time as the label on the bottle depicting a dwarf bending over for some absurd reason reminds him of  a joke "One little mushroom for my Basket"
Each time we have opened this beer there is a large burst of carbonation past the cap that covers one self in a spray of beer, so be wary upon opening! When poured this is a cloudy straw coloured beer with an excellent frothy white head providing a wonderful bouquet of orange, mandarin, coriander, and clove with a hint of grape fruit. This is a strong, flavourful beer with a light carbonation on the palate. Although containing barley malt the coriander and spice dominate the complex flavour and the alcohol is well masked, with a slight bitterness at the end. This is a superb performing beer that should be enjoyed with a mild cheese platter at your next dinner function.

Verdict - Excellent
