Broughton Greenmantle Ale (Bottle)

Brewed by Broughton
Style: Bitter
Biggar, Scotland

An amber beer witha fine but collapsing beige head. The aroma is light, but with notes of caramel. The flavor is slightly burnt with notes of caramel and the body is thin. I was disappointed in this one.

(Bottle 50 cl) I’ve had light lagers before with a lot of flavour. Well, this is the exception from that rule. Beautiful, deep bronze in colour, nice head. Weak notes of malt and some fruit and then...nothing. Absolutely nothing. Just water, and a whole half litre of it. 100105

Århus2008. 50 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden deep orange with a lacing lighb brown head. Vague fruity hops aroma. Flavour is initially medium spiced and malty with a light spice note lasting towards the finish. Mild acidic touch towards the finish and mixed with a subdued spice note into the finish.

Copper coloured. Sweet, plain, light bodied. I’m still no fan of the Broughton’s.
