2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle. Brown beer with a strongish head. The aroma is malty and yeasty, and the flavour is yeasty and sweetly malty and spiced. Overall a disappointing beer.

3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
330ml bottle (Cracked Kettle, Amsterdam)
Caramelly brown, small tight head. Initially a little lagery malty aroma, but that sweetens to become more bocky and a little fruity after a while. Sweet almost sherbetty body, good carbonation, very crisp. That crispness is highlighted by the spiky throbbing hoppiness. Slight alcoholic hit, but well within acceptable bounds. Sweet malty body helps keep the hop spike grounded. Decent hoppy finish. Just what I needed after nearly a week of abstinence!
