Rated: 10.06.2008
Can - nitro with floating widget, 500 ml
Appearance: Amber - bright, low effervescence, slightly orangy - brown, reminding breakfast, light tea, head is rather mediocre, minimal, slightly beige but lasting for a long time, body is very clear and transparent, lacing is rather non- existant.
Aroma: Herbal, spicy, a bit sweet from crystalized malted barley, a distinguishable earthy - hoppy character but of a mild slightly alcoholic when warmer, clean character, inviting and interesting.
Flavour: Low caramelly character at front, gentle hoppy - earthy background, herbal retronasal aroma, not to bitter anyway, focused and essential Premium Bitter/ESB, smooth, mild, soft, clean, easy going, drinkable, some watered down yeastyness, neutral in the aftertaste with slightly herbal nose, finish duration is short.
Palate: Body is light, texture is smooth, carbonation on palate is mild, finish feel is slightly astringent and rather neutral in terms of alcohol.

Can. Nice creamy texture. Balanced (but not very characteristic) taste. Would be alright with an extra load of carbonation.
