Light amber. Clear. Nose: biscuit malts, honey, spicy hop, minor butterscotch. Light body. Taste: initially sweetish, moderately malty and hoppy. Light ending bitterness with floral and spicy profile. Hoppy aftertaste. OK.

500ml bottle. Poured a crystal clear copper colour with a frothy white head. The aroma is buttery sweet toffee malt, light sweet fruit, light woody hop. The flavour is moderate sweet light bitter with a light crisp, fresh malt, light hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation.

Angeblich handelt es sich um die älteste Brauerei Englands. Da ich es schwer nachprüfen kann, lasse ich das einmal so stehen. Gebraut wurde mit Challenger-Hopfen für die Bitterkeit und Centennial- und Saazer für das Aroma...sagt zumindest das Etikett. Optisch ist es sehr hübsch und geschmacklich ganz gut komponiert. Es mag etwas leichter sein, aber sehr erfrischend.

Deep golden color, small white head. Aroma has light sweetness and fruityness, typical Shep Neame notes. Light-bodied. Light crystal malts, fruityness, a bit hard finish. Very typical SN house flavours even with US hops. Ok. Boring version of Spitfire.
