Corked bottle from Beers of Europe, King’s Lynn
batch 12121015, bb Aug 2013
Hazy deep blond color with generous head. Light aroma, light coriander, malt, lemon. Good body strength; the mouthfeel is quite round, due to a moderate sweetness; the flavor thou is very simple, with light candy fruitiness and light vegetables (wrong temperature for fermentation/maturation?). Average to low bitterness.
It’s forgettable like, for example, the many American attempts at Belgian Ales.
