Review and Tasting

Sampled on 23/08/2012

Appearance:

(best before May-13) Clear, coppery amber with long lasting thick white head and heavy lacing.

Aroma:

Bready malt with caramel, boiled sweet corn and grassy hops.

Taste:

Medium bodied, lightly bitter malty caramel with tannic tea and citrusy hops.

Aftertaste:

Lingering tannic bitterness with faint zesty lime. Those in search of a hoppy American style IPA will be disappointed – this one shows English restraint.
