Commercial Description:
Bottle Conditioned for maximum flavor and shelf life, Augustinian Ale is one of Britain's undiscovered treasures. Hoppy, bitter and spiced with coriander seeds, this pale ale is, to say the least, very distinctive.

A dark amber unclear (from the yeast) beer with a fine but fast disappearing head. The aroma is very yeasty with notes of koriander, oranges, and earthy alcoholic notes. But the flavor is weird - I wonder if that is because I poured some of the yeast? though I doubt it after reading some of the other rewievs - but on my tastebuds it is not good. The flavor is earthy, metallic, yeasty, grassy on top of a weird malty background with some lemon notes and a sharpness as if it has been wildfermented. Not at all what I expected - not good.

(Bottle 50 cl) Beautiful amber coloured beer with a marked reddish tint. Small and dissipating head. A dry and markedly bitter ale with the coriander spicing shining through giving some resemblance to Belgian Wit. Rather fresh and interesting beer. 011002

Light copper; orangey, lemon aroma. The aroma could easily be mistaken for lemon dish detergent, but there really isn’t any soapiness, it’s just that strong in the lemon. Crisp, floral, spicy, ale; dry, harshly coriander finish.

Ridiculously big beige head on pour atop hazy amber body. Aroma is coriander, ginger, lemon. Taste is coriander and gingery water. Watery light palate, limited carbonation. Bottom line is that I find the flavor combination very unpleasant.

Blond color. Quite nice aroma, a bitfruity (apricots and oranges). Peculiar malty taste, with some herbs and orange peel.
