Managed to snare myself a sneaky pre release carton of this year's Vintage Ale.
Its definitely changed since last year's. And you would expect so. Last year they used Perle, Magnum, Nelson Sauvin, Centennial and Cascade. This year - its Styrian Goldings, Centennial, Chinook and Citra.
Hops definitely feature a lot more up front. Citra is easily detected in the nose and in the taste as well. A more craft beer like vibe from it.
I quite like it. Much prefer it to the 2012. And completely different from the equally awesome 2011.
