Review and Tasting

Sampled on 06/11/2020

Appearance:

Clear, deep coppery golden amber with thick off-white head.

Aroma:

Piney caramel with brasil nut, blackberry fruit and faint lavender.

Taste:

Caramel and chocolaty malt with green apple freshness and lightly bitter piney and grassy hops.

Aftertaste:

Moderately bitter piney and grassy hops balance rich chocolaty caramel.

Overall:

Well-balanced bitter (piney and grassy hops) sweetness (sweet caramel and chocolaty malt) in a traditional amber bitter ale that's influenced by hops from the valley in which it's brewed.
