Draft @ Tilquin English Beer Festival '23.
Léger pâle, col blanc.
Arôme sur un bouquet frais avec un apport plaisant de l'orge - rétro pils/grains. Bouquet délicat houblonné noble avec un léger rétro-nasal fruité.
Palais sur une base plaisante de grains - ici, un orge écossais de type Bere qui remonterait à l'époque des invasions de l'Ecosse par les vikings et à une production très limitée.
Je retrouve un généreux caractère de grains - le tout ponctué par une petite douceur fruitée rappelant l'abricot et un houblonné frais fleuri sur les fleurs des champs.

Can from Westhill Service Station. It pours hazy golden - blonde with a decent white head. The aroma is fragrant, hay, coriander seed, green banana, tangy, orange marmalade, warming clove rock and some cola cubes. The taste is crisp, firmly dry, bitter - sweet grassy, straw, fragrant coriander seed vibes, green banana, touch of banana split, hay, wheat crackers and brioche wit a dry, cereal finish. Average body and moderate, foamy carbonation. Rounded and satisfying.

Can from Cork & Cask. Hazy golden/bronze body with a thin white head. Lively carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of white bread, mandarin, coriander and peach. Flavour of orange pith, white bread and red apple. Medium body with a frothy mouthfeel. Light fizz. It’s soft and fruity, really delicious. Possibly my favourite so far from Newbarns. Wish I had a few more cans.

Can from Appellation Wines. Appearance - hazy golden yellow. Big creamy white head. Nose - the ingredients don't mention coriander or orange but I distinctly get coriander seed and a whiff if something citrus. Also creamy wheat. Taste - creamy orange and spice. Peach yoghurt. Palate - light bodied, creamy and dry finish. Overall - decent. Not sure I could tell it had Bere in there.
