Moorhouses Pendle Witches Brew (Bottle)

Brewed by Moorhouses
Style: English Strong Ale
Burnley, England

Strong ale? Really? I thought it was a simple bitter. A little cardboard in the aroma. Light malt flavor. Smooth palate, very sessionable, if maybe an old bottle. Any hops that were there have mellowed.

[Bottle] shared by JK. Pours a clear light brown with a medium whitish head. Aroma is malty with some citric hops. Flavor follows, and is a bit thin. Nice bitter aftertaste, but otherwise a somewhat boring beer.

Appearance: Orangy brown. Little head. Hazy. Aroma: Hops and malt. Pear? Taste: Again, hops and malt. Bitter aftertaste. Standard stuff. Info: 500ml bottle, 9/6-2008, 175/300

golden color.....citrusy, crisp taste......pour slowly, let head develop and recede and you have a nearly cask conditioned pint......great label.....a favorite

From a bottle purchased at By The Bottle in Vancouver, WA--Poured a dark brown-amber body with a big white head. Sweet, caramel, citrus, biscuit nose. Very fruity and saucy all the way through. Some nutty mildly sour syrup notes. Finished with a big sweet, grassy texture. Not sure how old this bottle was, but it was pretty damn good.

Orangish brown, thin ring of white foam. Sweetish, citrusy aroma. Seems a bit watery. Fairly malty, and also a bit of woodsy note. There was also a rather unpleasent sour and medicinal notes, as well.

0,5 l bottle, shared with neighbour Kjetil, who bougth it in Cardiff. Amber color, nice off-white/beige head. Aroma is sweet malt and fruit. Flavor is sweet and caramel malt, some fruit.

Bottle. I’m not sure why this qualifies as "witches brew" but what the heck. Pours a nice copper/amber color with almost no head to speak of. Aromas are sweet bread and malt. Flavor is more of the same, but also has a bit of a grassy edge to it as well as a soapy texture. Nice and refreshing while being sweet and full.
