3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20 hlkanga (204) - - JUN 25, 2012
500 ml can. Pours slightly hazy copper to amber colour with medium-sized off-white head. Fruity and floral aroma with citrus, raisins, sweet malt, cereal and barnyard. Taste of fruity hops, caramel malt and bread. Medium bodied, a bit oily mouthfeel, soft carbonation and long mild hoppy finish. Quite a good ale when you consider availability and price. Well-balanced and pleasant to drink but a bit simple and the taste could be slightly stronger. In any case a decent one.
