Ushers White Ale

Gold with low carbonation, bright white head. Aroma was of organic character with slightly sour over lap and pale malt. Medium bodied. I would say it was even salty -sweet, fruit white wine as well. Interesting.

1998 Vintage. Aroma is yeast, malt and lemon, yellow, pours a small white head. Flavour has yeast, malt and some lemony notes. Light bodied, a bit sweet. Ordinary. Thank You very much Michael Robis of Chester’s Beers of the World, Hamilton!

(Bottle 50 cl) Pale ales are common in Belgium but I believe rather rare elsewhere. Pilsener golden with a small head. Comes with the vinous character of the other Usher vintage beers, but completely lacks the juicy fullness from the darker malts. A bit like a dry sherry. Almost no bitterness. Very unusual if not to say unique. 260603

Bottled, Pasteurised. Light yellow gold colour, whispy short head. A fruity, banana and vanilla concoction with a tangy hoppy overlay. Sharp thin finish. Quite disappointing.

The aroma is fresh and fruity with metallic notes. The color is orange and it has a small fast disappearing head. The flavor is flat, fruity, and metallic. All in all a weird below average ale.

Bottle. Bright golden colour but poor head and moderate condition. Initial shortlived aroma of hops, some background hop flavour, but dominated by a nasty cheap lager like taste. Reminded me of Fischer Tradition, which is no great reccomendation

A sharp and acidic beer. A cross between a pale ale and a cider. Unusual, but no better for it. Ushers Ruby is a classic - buy that instead.

Golden ale with vanilla tones. Malty and flavourful, but still the least interesting in Usher’s vintage range.
