The
beer has a succulent, yet saccharine nose, with juicy fruit notes. The
flavour is similarly constructed, with pleasant tangerine notes
supplemented with a subtly flowery note. H&C is hoppy, but, as
billed, it isn’t particularly bitter—at least not as bitter as I
expected it to be. I don’t know where they get that nonsense about it
being “an ale and a lager”, because it clearly tastes like an ale”, but
it does taste pretty good.
The only element
that would prohibit me from buying this beer on the semi-regular is its
sweetness—it the beer were a little less juicy/syrupy. I’ll maybe buy it
again, but despite its “session” nature, I feel unlikely to reach for a
second can.
Rating: 6.5 out of 10.
