I have to agree with pretty much everything everyone has said so far; well done!
I'm not sure how you could cram more flavor into a 4.3% ABV and still remain balanced and very drinkable.
I didn't realize that Galway Hooker was "missing something" until I tried "Or" (now if only I can learn how to pronounce it..). The malty grainy flavor really gives the hops a "spine" to hold them up.
A beer I could drink year-round, too.
It seems it was well worth the wait...
The "mad scientist" can brew! Who knew science could be so delicious?
