Jun 29, 2008 A Mes rate: Bottle thanks to Fin & Loz.
Slightly hazy amber brown colour with a decent off white head and lace. Slightly dusty aroma, reasonable hops, some bread and yeast and maybe a light salty note. Typical English bottle conditioned beer. Earthy caramel flavour with a light sprinkling of herby hops. Slight tartness and a mineral note to it that in all honesty seems like the start of an infection but the best before date is June 08 so I am having it right on the edge of its useful life. I certainly wouldn’t expect this to age too well. Slight bitterness in the finish but I could really do with more. Lingering salty caramel backs up what I have said previously. Don’t get me wrong this is not a bad beer, it’s just not amazing either.
