3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
500ml bottle. Pours dark brown with a small head. Aroma is dried fruit and carmale malt. Taste is quite yeasty, considering this isn’t bottle conditioned. Some fruit as well, with a medium bitter finish. Good body for the alcohol content. Really nice.
3.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
I thought that this was a lovely bitter. Coppery in color and a bit heavier than I thought it would be. Serving: Bottle
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pretty good, but just too malt heavy for me. A bit more balance would work to accentuate the caramel overload and really kick this on. Decent enough and does a lot in the body for such a low ABV.
3.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours copper-brown with tight full white head that quickly fades to a white collar. Clean bready malt aromas. Initial taste impressions are of a mouth-filling and spritzy maltiness. The finish is long, dry and bitter. A classic British session bitter that doesn’t tire and leaves you wanting another.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Copperbrown beer with medium and blond head. Aroma is slightly aromatic, toffee, sweet malts, some fruits and hint of berries. Flavour is simpler and duller than aroma, toffee, malts and lot of dry wooden bitterness. Quite light to drink but still nice. Good flavour indicates great beer, but overally this beer was a little disappointment; medium quality, slightly aromatic brittish bitter.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pours dark amber with nice white head which leaves nice lacing on the glass. Malty caramel and slight hoppy aroma. Slightly sweet, fruity and malty flavor with hints of hoppyness. NIcely sweet and malty on palate and finish is long and hoppy.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Very light and smooth bitter ale. Copperish pour in the glass. Nice overall ale. Rated 4/6/04
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Captain Diacetyl! (but in a good way) caramel, butterscotch nose and taste on this mid stength, mid amber ale. Not much in the way of head retention. Fairly bitter aftertaste. Strikes a good balance between hops and malt.
Wonder what yeast strain they’re using to get that diacetyl in there? Ringwood maybe?
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
50cl bottle poured into a pint glass. Golden amber with two fingers creamy off-white head. Aroma is grassy hops with subtle notes of caramel. Flavor is bitter hops with a soft malty undercurrent. Medium body and lively carbonation. Finish is dry and lasting. This is a pretty tasty brew. Definitely sessionable.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pours dark amber approaching copper with a small head.
Nose shows light caramel, floral and peach notes, quite sweet. Diacetyl is definitely noticeable, making it seem fuller and richer.
Loads more toffee and caramel as flavours with faint reminders of the fruity aromas along with resinous hops. Finishes with a rather dull metallic bitterness.
Nice low carbonation.
This would have been quite good if not for the dodgy finish.
