I drank quite a few of these in England and I think this beer is very much what I remember from the trip. I wish I'd brewed 10 gal of it as it isn't going to last too long.
Tasting Notes:
- Aroma:
- Spicy hops are the primary aroma. There is also a bit of sweet malt in there and maybe some fruity character from the yeast.
- Appearance:
- Light copper color. This bottle poured with a lot of head (although all of them are not like this). Head quickly dissipated to a thin layer. Very clear beer. Low carbonation after the big head on the pour.
- Flavor:
- Up front I get a lot of biscuity and bready malt. It finishes with moderate bitterness with a bit of malt. The balance is slightly tipped towards the hops. There may be a little yeast character in the finish but it's pretty minor.
- Mouthfeel:
- Light bodied and smooth. Very low carbonation.
- Overall:
- A very easy drinking beer. It is difficult to find this style of beer in bottles and, when you do, it's typically a lot more expensive than it should be - especially since it's a beer that's meant to be consumed in quantity. I think this is a very good beer - I'm going to have to revisit this recipe.
