St Peters Organic Ale

Brewed by St Peters (UK)
Style: Golden Ale/Blond Ale
Bungay, England

50cl bottle from Willow Bend Liquors (Tampa, FL). Pours a hazy caramel golden color with a one finger pillowy white head. Good retention and lacing. Aroma is strong malted barley with a faint sweetness, hops, and maybe a touch of ripe fruit. Flavor is much of the same with sweet malted barley notes, a faint light fruity character and just a bit of hoppy bitterness toward the finish. Generally light-bodied with a quick slightly bitter finish.

Getting notebook online. Bottle. Orange yellow that glows towards the top. Very aromatic fruits and other good scents. A smoky after taste but still refreshing and tasty. Good, maybe wasn’t fresh but still very good.

Sharp and slightly sour hop aroma with biscuit and flowers. Fruity hops and toffee malt sweetness. I like it actually. i dont expect much from an organic beer.

500mL bottle from the LCBO. I put this one off for FAR too long! I was worried about skunkage in this one, as well as being bad if not consumed fresh, but I am so pleasantly surprised. Pours an absolutely beautiful deep dark gold with a medium white creamy, think and rocky head. Gorgeous! Smells just as good! Hops upfront like crazy, but after putting my nose too far into the head, I got a nose full of foam that smelled like some of the most delicious malted barley I’ve ever come across. Grapefruity character to the hops. It even smells FRESH, despite being a few months old now. Low effervescence. I was worried this one would choke on the flavour, but thankfully I was wrong. A delicious blend of fresh tasting malt and hops blends together seamlessly, with just the right bitter hop bite in the finish leading into a delicious aftertaste of sweet malted barley. Awesome! Such a cool bottle too, I’m definitely going to be drinking this regularly now despite the high price tag. This seriously tastes as fresh as something from one of my local craft breweries. Well done, this brewery has yet to let me down.

Pint bottle. Not much aroma, slightly hay-like. Poured a hazy pale gold, short head. Hoppy taste comes through, with a doughy aftertaste. Overall surprisingly average.

I was drawn to the beer by the bottle, a different "flask shaped oval bottle." When I looked a bit closer though, I was turned away a bit by the bottle. Light green in color, I was afraid it was just going to be another skunky ale. After keeping it for a couple weeks, I finally opened it and shared it with a friend. At a full pint, it would be a great portion for one, but works well for two (especially for tasting). On opening, my fears were met by my nose with a worrisome skunky aroma, but it as well pronounced as an aroma. The look was great. Beautiful head, with a nice soft amber color. I must say the taste was surprisingly hoppy for the aroma. I found myself really enjoying the beer. I wouldn’t say it is the best beer I’ve ever had, but it does have a good taste. I’d buy it again.

500 ml bottle. Labeled as English Ale. Pours a warm, unfiltered golden in color with a rapidly fading head, leaving behind strings of lace. The aroma is doughy, yet sharp and tart. Aside from a generous zing of hops, there really isn’t too much else to note flavor wise. It has a medium body and a crisp bite to the finish. I had higher hopes for this beer.

Cool Bottle: Great bottle looks like old cough syrup remedy. Unfortunately it also taste like it. Finish is weak and bland.
