Moorhouses Pendle Witches Brew (Bottle)

Brewed by Moorhouses
Style: English Strong Ale
Burnley, England

Smells okay, very small hints of malt and fruit. Looks gold, white head. Taste is fruity and earthy and malty but also kind of mild. Quiet. Ends on a high note, very refreshing. Almost pale ale-y.

Bottle. Pours dark amber with an average rocky head that was mostly diminishing. Medium hoppy citrus aroma. Light to medium body with a thin texture. Light bitter sweet aroma with a small finish of short duration.

Golden/orange in colour. Small white head. Has a malty aroma and hints of caramel. Malty flavor and a little sweet. Soma caramel taste aswell, going over in a nice bitter asftertaste.

i had this in ’pendle bar’ at lancaster uni, goes with it i thinks, was good, good old english beer is what it is, what a pint should look like.

(Bottle) Pours a burnt orange body with a moderate off-white head. Aroma of tortilla chips, refried beans, vegetables, caramel, and spices. Flavor of toasted malt, caramel, mild floral hops, and spices.

500 ml bottle. Rating #666 (ooo scary!). Too bad I couldn’t have saved my 666th rating for Halloween, but you go to rate with the beer you have. Pours a slightly cloudy amber body with half an inch of tan foam, and a half inch ring of bubble clinging to the glass just below the surface. Slightly fruity malt smell. First thing I taste is bubbliness that suggests force carbonation. Then some more fruity taste, perhaps from both malts and hops, supported by an old house yeast. Bit of pineapple juice and pear nectar, maybe some strawberry tartness. Some caramel malt. Bitterness somewhat indistinct, letting malts play up front. A slightly minty aftertaste. RB seems right to place this as a Strong Ale rather than the English Pale Ale its label claims to be. Very novel taste for any English beer.

Somewhat hazy golden/orange color, white head. Aroma is fruity and from vanilla, with nuttynotes, malty and some almond. Citrus flavo, nutty notes and a malty finish mixed with hops.

Pours a hazy golden hue from the bottle with a creamy head that quickly disappears. Aroma of pears and apricots adds to its sweetness. Has a nice balance of hops bitterness at the end, which provides a lovely finish. Whenever my beer man has this in stock, I make sure to pick up a bottle or two.
