Bottle 50 cl. Clear, golden with a small, white head. Typical British yeast aroma. Mediumbody, fairly neutral, malty body, with some late bittering hops. Decent if uninspired. 271216

Good, dense, lightly yellowish head over darker metallic golden beer, clear. Sweet nose with lots of caramel and butterscotch. Faraway hint at stale beer, but not really oxydation. Bit metallic, bitter-ish flavour. I’d never guessed Cascade, as it shows not the slighltest hint at citrus, nor resin. Faint sugary/caramel underbuild, no butterscotch in the mouth. Long lasting main flavours; thin body, even watery, medium carbonation. Why is it that near every new British microbrewery manages to turn out exciting bottled beers, whilst established, large familybrewers struggle to make this ilk as an optimum?

bottle after day of checking out the South English surroundings, 500ml, 5.6%. pours bright golden with a white head. Aroma is dull, moldy, cardboard, old, malts. Taste of malts, weak grain, pilsener malts, at least i pulled this one out of the freezer, not it’s cold. This is however one of the first Ale’s not totally dominated by caramel and biscuitmalts. not that it’s suddenly a good beer.... --- Beer merged from original tick of Brilliant Ale (Bottle) on 25 May 2018 at 10:16 - Score: 6

Bottle, 0.50l, courtesy of Saska. Clear amber color with medium creamy white head and average sparkling appearance. Aroma of caramel, toasted malt, grass and herbs. Taste starts with light sweet toasted malt and honey, follows herbal, fruity and earthy with moderate bitter finish. Light to medium body, slick texture and average carbonation in palate. Not really brilliant, but good enough...

Bottle from Damian. Clear golden colour with a stable head. Lively carbonation making for a nice sight as well as a refreshing drink. I am having this slightly above what might be recommended serving temperature, mind you. Yet no off notes present, only clean English style hops, with grassy and flowery flavours. Rather bitter, with malt providing only background. Sessionable and flavourful, clean and well executed. Good work.
