KoNG's bitter is now safely in my belly. I have recently become a huge fan of Styrian Goldings and this beer has just reaffirmed that. And geez it definitely opens up when you let it warm up a bit. the last couple of mouthfulls of each glass were the ones when I found myself almost uncontrolably saying out aloud "**** that's a good beer". The hop characters just seemed to jump out in those last few sips. Anyway, plenty of character in this brew, none of which was out of place. I saw a comment previously that there was some burnt rubber characters in the beer. I may not have a perfect palate but I certainly didn't see anything that resembled burnt rubber - it was smooth all the way. A really well crafted ale KoNG, my only disappointment is that I don't have another bottle!
Tonight was bloody great - Nooch's mild before dinner, which was a winner. Then my folks came over for a roast and I polished off KoNG's bitter over the meal. My dad had a taste of the bitter and was very impressed. Its always a good sign when even a non-brewer can't get enough. Unfortunately for him though a taste was all he was getting!
