This is my best beer to date. I brewed it back in May and now in December it still is brimming with tropical fruit hop character. The attached photos show the billowing head which just won't quit. A half hour into the pint and there is still a half inch of head on the beer, with superb lacing to match. I blame the flaked barley for this. The malt bill may be a bit complex, but it really, really works with this beer. Not too muddled a malt character, nor too overly sweet. The 007 yeast brought this down further than I expected, and the beer really benefited from it. Dry and crisp, this will be in heavy rotation.
Pardon the lackluster pictures. Taken with my crappy phone.
