Traditional english bitter with a delicate balance of hops, caramel malts and yeast esters. Interlude of the slightly outlandish bitterness of Goldings and Galaxy hops is followed by a full bodied caramel backbone matching the fruitiness of english style yeast.

0,5 bottle at Two More Beers with Snegurochka 221219. One of 12+ bottled Labietis beers for selection. Impressive! Slightly hazy dark orange or apricot body with a tall lightly off-white head that leaves quite beautiful lacing. Looks good in the glass! Aroma and taste is as expected if you expected a Labietis take on an the English bitter: Smooth caramel malts combined with the bitterness and zest of fruity hops. Notes of yeast as well. Quite long taste, helped along by a very decent mouthfeel. Perhaps packs more of a bit more of a punch than your average bitter but still true to the tradition. A pleasurable and very drinkable brew that makes the most out of its relatively low alcohol content. Labietis - once again - leaves you satisfied.

Pale amber colour, active carbo makes a big off-white head and lace. English earthy hops with caramalt in the nose. Light-bodied. Sweetish bitter, caramalt, even touch of honey, some English hops. Probably yeast has made some tricks here but drinkable.

Õlle on selline jook, et iga uus kord kui klaasi või pudeli suule tõstad, siis leiad midagi uut, sõltuvalt tuhandest-miljonist pisiasjast, mis hetke olukorda mõjutavad. Seega piirdun iga õlle juures selle tekstiga.
