This lingering combination of pale Maris Otter malts and choice German hops may make you pause for thought. As you contemplate the gentle biscuit malts, fresh Hersbrucker hops seduce the taste buds educating and enlightening the palate.

During Jan 2012 my local Wetherspoons decided to launch a ‘Brewery of the Month’ promotion: that brewery was Limestone. This beer was available on a couple of occasions when I went in, this is a review when I actually had a hand pulled pint. The beer pours a light amber/blonde colour, clear but not bright like a lager: on top a thin white head that tried to stay and leave some lacing. No great smells came from the beer although the Maris Otter Malts gave off a biscuit aroma as the beer warmed a little in the glass. Those biscuit aromas carried on into the taste, with German (Hersbrucker) Hops blending nicely to produce an easy drinking, well balanced pint. The name is a play on Einstein of course: not sure what he would have thought of it? His bust was on the font label.
