Deep amber with a foamy, short-lasting off white head, aroma is not strong, some caramel or toffee sweetness with a hint of malt. Relatively high level of carbonation gives a tingly mouthfeel, there's some sweet malt character in there and a touch of fruit with some lasting bitterness in the aftertaste

Ein razorback ist ein WIldschwein und der Name wird gerne für Football-Mannschaften oder Armeeeinheiten genommen. Hier kriegt man halt ein Bier mit diesem netten Tierchen auf dem Etikett. Grüße nach Hachenburg und Břeclav, wo sich die Brauereien auch dieses Waldbewohners annehmen. Auch aus der Bierbox von LIDL ist es ein Bier, das mich nicht allzu sehr begeistert hat. Auch hier ein karamelliger Kern und leicht hopfiger Abgang, aber die Süße wirkt etwas gekünstelt. Es ist nicht schlecht, aber da gibt es bessere Biere in dieser Richtung.

Third, cask ale, beer flight at Bargeman's Rest. Shared with Finn. Clear dark amber body, fair lacing from a mostly dissipating white head. Moderate smell of mid-sweet caramel and grass. Biscuit flavours followed by a bittersweet tail. Fair enough. (Newport, Isle of Wight 21.10.2019).
