Supplier: Beer52
Another beer brewed with and exclusively for Beer52 (although I've seen it sold elsewhere), hopefully this is better than their last (Mambo Jambo). This is made with a simple malt base but with a mix of five seasonal hops (hence the name). I served this chilled.

Appearance: Dark, peachy golden in colour, a little hazy. The head is thin and off-white, but it lasts throughout.
Aroma: Not much in the nose, slightly sweet with hints of resin and chocolate.
Flavour: Slight biscuity malt on the front, followed by a wave of hop resin.
Body: The body is very thick, almost like the consistency of jersey milk. Too thick for this type of beer, so it detracts from the refreshing aspects.
Aftertaste: A spicy hop bitterness at the back, clean and nice.
Overall: Therefore this gets a rating of 5, nice standard flavours, but a little imbalanced with the body
Price Range: Another from the box 8 for £14 - so £1.75 for a 330ml bottle; not a bad price for what it is.
Food Pairings: It would go with quite a cream heavy dessert, which would mask the body, but with something fruity to go well with the hop resin notes. I would suggest something like strawberries and cream, or Eton mess.
