TheBeerGod (4140) - Newport News, Virginia, USA - OCT 3, 2004
Draft at the Lowlander Cafe in London. Came out a nice amber body with an aroma laden with candy sugar, yeast sweet malts and fruit. Taste is more fruit (melons/pears) and yeast with some sugary and alcoholic notes coming through. towards the end. Light hop character. Mouthfeel was rather full with a decent carbonation feel. Finished with more of the fruit notes and sweet notes. Light alcohol coming through as well. Good beer!
