3.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Tall brown 500ml bottle: best before 31 Oct 2012, poured into my Abbot Ale glass tankard early Mar 2012.
Pale amber, light copper in colour, bright and clean looking. The head looked good for 20 seconds, it then started to shrink and within a minute it has retreated to a collar and wispy covering: pity.
The aroma was a heady mix of yeasts and hops with a mild malty undertone.
The taste leans towards hops, especially initially. The malted wheat and barley appear mid-mouthfull, preventing the hop bitterness completely taking over the flavours.
Different and pleasant.
3.6 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
A very pleasant beer, nice bitter twang with a pleasant flavour. Pours nicely with a good head.
