2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Sour, yeasty nose with some citrus - almost Lambic in its sourness (is this a bad bottle?). Pours very orange copper with a fluffy head. Flavour continues some of this yeastiness but develops more citrus and some pleasant hoppy bitterness. From a worrying start the finish is fresh and long with some grapefruit and orange.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Great British ale aroma - toasted sugars,slight western hop citrusity. Mostly dry, at times presenting as being rather bitter, but then it backs off. Peat-tangy and tannic. The western hops are just enough to give it a different twist. Aftertaste is a tangy starchiness. Slightly dark amber, flocculent thin head. Label needs work, good UK pint bottle. Thanks to my boss for bringing this back to Florida from a CAMRA festival.
