a tawny colour, witha malty aroma, and malty flavour with a smokeyness bit clawing

On tap at White Cross Inn Beer Festival. Rich copper with a white head. There’s an odd vinegar scent coming from this which is sharp and mildly unpleasant. Thankfully the mouth taste isn’t the same. There’s a hint of eggs and malt. Not as unpleasant with it’s bitter malt finish - but just bizarre.

Frisch bitteres Grundaroma mit milder und dadurch gelungen erfrischender Blumigkeit. Süffig, das Gefühl der Wässrigkeit kommt kaum auf. Die Malzigkeit ist dabei gekungen mit Karamellnuancen versetzt, die den Wegfall der Blumigkeit kaum bemerkbar machen. Diese taucht im Abgang unvermittelt wieder auf, das Bier ist bitter, wenig süß, süffig, vollmundig. 6/11/11/12/7/12
