St Peters Organic Ale

This ale pours amber in color from the flask-shaped 16.9 oz. bottle, which itself is very stylish. Decanting left a small white head and minimal lacing. I found a mostly floral hop aroma and faint scent of dry straw. The mildest hint of light malt sweetness quickly yields to a strong hop flavor with a lasting bitterness. This ale is medium-light bodied and has low carbonation. It improves greatly as it approaches room temperature, but I rate it only slightly better than average.

By far the best beer i’ve tried from the U.K. Very smooth with a nice finish. I would drink this beer more often if it wasn’t so difficult to get.

Golden color, white head. Lighter malt, some apple. Light bitterness. Light to medium bodied. Meh. I suppose you could do worse, but it’s pretty boring.

Rich soy like malt nose. Green apple flavor, a little salt w. rich malt. the finish is ok, a bit tingly. Nothing worth drinking again.

Pour is orange with no head. Aroma is both malty and hoppy leaning more towards the malt.. Flavor is also malts and hops but the hops are stronger here. Over all pretty light and watery. Nothing to get excited about but it does not offend.

Bottle from Metro Wines, Syston, Leics. Having chucked most of the Kestrel Super down the plug hole, let’s move onto some out of date beer! Colour is orange, with only a scummy head. Smells like yeast, marmalade and that. Taste is big on smoke, clocking the herbs and pizza in a masque of fume, Parisien waterways and sausage. Oddly meaty given the fruit aroma. Organic - maybe, but no good for veggies. Fairly heavy for the weight (abv), but for a beer not classified as Smoked, this is too smoky. Quite good, but too much on this occasion.

Bleah... kinda skunky. Weird aroma, bizarre taste. Bitter flavour, but not from hops. The bottle’s pretty groovy though.

From the flask-shaped bottle. Pours out to a slightly hazy golden orange color with a head that vanishes instantly. Aroma has a whiff of toffee/malt that you may have come to expect from an english ale. The beer leads off with just a hint of sweetness and loads of flavor hops which is followed by a lingering bitterness. The hop flavor is somewhat grassy, not to the point of being offensive, but its a bit peculiar. The ale is light bodied and has a smooth mouthfeel due to the low carbonation.
