Arrogant Bastard Ale

A deep red beer with a beutiful head. The aroma is sweet with notes of alcohol and berries. The flavor is very complex with notes of cowberries, grass and enourmous amounts of hops which makes the end extremely grassy and dry. A wonderful beer. Thanks to Mads Berg for sharing this bottle.

(Bottle 65 cl) Beautiful and very red coloured, clear beer with a creamy head leaving a sophisticated lacework. Roasted, nutty aromas. Lots of roasted malt and caramel. And then of course lots of dry hops. 290705

Re-rate bottled. Known in the Middle-East as Bush Beer this is a soft little mild and unassuming beer...
No. Let's be serious. Reddish ruby in colour with fine, firm head. Aggresive citrusy aroma. Short blast of reasonably soft, clean firm maltiness. Very bitter finish, and (ha!) there is this celery salt flavour. OK, you win... This IS a good beer. Much better than I first thought (and thanks for the beer).
Old rating: Nut brown. Dry, big weird celery aroma, very bitter. A love/hate beer. Must probably taste it again to decide which it is for me, but that is easier said than done on this side of The Pond... 5/4/4/3/8

From tap at Stone Bistro. Pours clear and golden yet dense amber with a creamy tan head. Aroma is mild breadish malty. Hoppy and mild spiced too. Flavour follows this closely and goes into a spiced and hoppy finish.
