Hambleton Stallion

On handpull, an amber colour. A slight fruit aroma. A creamy and light palate, fruity and flowery.

Cask on Christian IV in Odense. Amber with a lasting white head. Light floral hops and toffee malt aroma. Medium dry malty flavour with toffee notes and a rather hop bitter finish.

From cask at Charlies. Pours cloudy orange with a lacing off-white head. Light toasted to breadish dry malt aroma. Flavour follows this with a mild fruity note in addition. Light liqourice note into the finish. Finish holds a light bitterness yet still mixed with the same malt flavours. Very pleasent biter.

Cask in Station Bar. This was noteably warm. Artoma is nutty malts, grassy, clishgt lemon note. Taste is again nutty a bit grainy malt, grassy finish.

Cask at Wellington Arms, Bedford. Amber. Bland malty aroma. Some roast in the taste with some sharp bitterness at the finish. I find I don’t get on too well with Hambleton beers. This is an exception. Quite decent.

Bottle. Amber with a moderate white head. Aroma began with some floral hops and then became a touch earthy. The flavour started with some malt before the same earthiness, almost farmyard-like came through. The finish was bitter with some more floral hops. Pleasant.

Candied malt and caramel aroma, copper, pours a small tan head. Dry leafy hops taste, subtle malt, woody notes, well balanced,very pleasurable drink. A really nice treat from my neighbour Jean’s sister Dorothy. Thank You to both Ladies.

Red mahogany and a nice head. the aroma has notes of roasted malt and hops, and I find the same in the flavour. It’s a bit thin in the body, so this stallion isn’t very feisty. The finish has a nice bitterness.
