Shardlow Stedman Tipple

From a bottle.dark orange in colour,small head,Fried food aromas.Same beaten old fruits and iron flavours.

Bottle Conditioned. BBE Sept 04. The bottle doesn’t indicate that it’s been bottled by Leek Brewery, but it very likely is. And it’s sour - again. Might be useful for mixing with olive oil for a nice salad dressing, but as for drinking. No. Beyond the tartness this comes through as an average bitter. Some fruit, but little in the way of hoppiness.

Bottled. Orange bronze in colour with no head. Aromas are banana, vanilla and sour fruit. Flavours are, errghhh, totally unbalanced. Really quite sour and lacking body or any hops. A mess of a beer.
