Pingaware (214) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - MAY 15, 2020UPDATED: MAY 15, 2020 50 cl bottle (BBD), received as a gift, drunk at home 2020-04-18.
Appearance is a very slightly hazy pale amber, with the thinnest of white heads that lingers and a surprising amount of visible carbonation. I want more head, but it's attractive enough.
Aroma is pretty nice if a little subtle - there's a touch of sweet citrus up front, with some orchard fruits and maybe a grassy hint. Beneath that, there's a malty white breadiness. A little stronger would be appreciated, but this is a good English-pale-style aroma.
Taste isn't quite as nice but isn't bad. Up front there's the fruitiness from the hops - elderflower perhaps? - which then moves into more malty bread - brown this time though. A botanic bitterness comes through on the finish. Again subtle.
Palate is okay - light bodied, but a nice level of carbonation in the mouth. Quite clean and a touch juicy with a medium length finish.
Overall, this is what I think of as a good old-school British cask pale, or more realistically golden. Fruitiness up front but a nice malt core comes through towards the end. I'd like a bit more oomph in the aroma and flavour, and definitely a bit more head, but this is a good beer - I'd really like to try it on cask!
