Commercial Description:
Bottle; Unfiltered.
Also available from Wetherspoons in casks.
"This full-tasting, but deceptively drinkable, amber ale has a good fruitiness and a nice hop edge which tempers the caramellised malt. It is clean and precise, within an almost perfect balance of Challenger and Goldings hops.
The recipe has its origin in the 14th century. The present version is a little more heavy and contains more hops. The balance between the different malts, the fine hops and typical tastes of spices creates a perfect harmony between the powerful taste of brown beers and the freshness of the blond beers. This fresh aromatic and pithy light-brown drink can be served cool.

Bottle at Smokeless Joe 330 ml
Appearance: thick ,large foam on amber base. 4-
Nose : Soothing malty , yeasty aroma with hint of mineral and green hops.
Flavor/Palate : Up front welcomed with carbonation , caramel and other sweet malts . Some acidity and semi-dry alcohol add new dimension. Lightly fruity side with slightly more bitter finish.

33cl bottle from Vinmonopolet. It poured an amber colour with a medium big creamy head that slowly settles down in the glass. The aroma smells of malts and apples. It has a carbonated flavour that is very bitter and tastes of malts, apples and citrus. It has a lingering aftertaste.

A great beer with a lovely amber color and a head that easily overflows. Very sweet and very bitter at the same time.
