Brown 500ml bottle of Real Ale, sediment in the glass, so poured slowly during one of my ’random beer tasting evenings’ (Oct 2010) a month before its best before date. The beer was a big disappointment to be honest, I was really looking forward to reviewing my first beer from this newish brewery. It started out OK, the beer appeared bright and clean, a golden amber body with a good solid foaming white head on top. Some deep lacing hung around as the beer sank, so the condition was fine. The smell was of ’home-brew’, the sort of yeasty, not quiet finished aroma often found with mates keen to show off their beers (a few weeks too early). I thought the beer bland and uninteresting, which is a shame. The flavours seemed weak, there was a blend of hops and malt, with the hops being the major player as the mouth dried. It just didn’t float my boat.
