Peter Williams from Burntwood - Winner of the first Hop Bomb 'Tell us what you taste' competition.

The Winning description:

"Before I tasted - before I even read the bottle actually - I caught the familiar smell of Lychees. It hits the pallet with a softness like mineral water, the Lychees wash around the back of my tongue & a very subtle & gentle hoppy sweetness spreads from the centre to the tip of my tongue. For me there is an after-taste of roasted grapefruit! Sweet, not sharp. Such a surprise. Seriously... I'm not sure if its because I have a fondness for Lychees, but it is one of the most developed flavour sensations I've had from a beer! Absolutely love it... just wished the bottle was a bit bigger ;-) Got to get more tonight if they're still on the shelves "
