Was at the Goat last night nad had a try of the new specialty Fancy Pants Amber
Oh my bloody dog - what a beer.
For everyone that has been missing that stinky tip in a bottle of perfume hop aroma that you used to get in LC pale - well.... now you can get it in a beer thats brewed just up the road from me (good for me, dunno about you)
Its a good firm malty amber ale - with an absolute truckload of hop everything - Bitterness, flavour and AROMA - & again but bigger AROMA !!
The hop used is Galaxy and it's a mighty interesting hop. Not subtle, but interesting. Full fruit salad/tropical punch in both flavour and aroma - clean and not at all harsh on the bitterness. Very nice indeed.
A chat with a staff member revealed that this was a hopbacked beer and also the first time that goat has used whole flowers - methinks that the relatively new head brewer Jayne Lewis has brought along a chunk of expertise about extracting hop goodness from her old employer.
At any rate - the Fancy Pants is an extraordinary beer for hopheads - and they say they might well up the stakes to double IPA territory :blink: that'll singe the hairs off the inside of your nose
