Double Diamond

Brewed by Leeds (Carlsberg UK)
Style: Bitter
Leeds, England

Nice hazy copperish hue. Unfortunately I got a green bottle, therefore aromas were all skunked out. Nice beige head which erupted all over my desk when I cracked the bottle. This wasnt anything I enjoyed too much, but the skunk was only in the nose. Hoppy and nice malt balance. A decent brew.

Double diamond, sounds like a vodka concoction, but really a rather bland and flavourless English beer.

Bland boring, and musty. Literally no hop presence. Overall unimpressive.

Widget can tested. Boring nitro foam. Can’t really smell it. OK balance of hop and malt, but lost in the nitro. Watery. Probably should rate again from bottle.

A fine english pale ale. The english make these much better than the rip-off american microbrewers. A perfect balance of hops and malt, bring about a fine and delicate fruit-flavored bouquet. Delicate flavor with nice hint of bitter on aftertaste. Good color. Very nice beer.

Bottled. Amber colour, moderate head and condition. Faintly fruity nose. Hints of grain, fruity malt and good hop flavour in the mouth and a caramel and hop bitter finish.

Initially denoting the finest ale the brewery produced, two chalk diamonds were drawn on the casks of select ales. Thus, this beer’s moniker was born. Nowadays, 125 years after its creation, Double Diamond seems to still be a fine product, worthy of a little chalk. Though hard to find in the US, this beer merits seeking out for its attractive copper hue and enjoyable taste. Only slightly hopped and as good as other quality UK ales. Nice as it warms up, too.

Not much to say about this A standard Ale,little dull but will do well in a Pint on the pub
