Holy Madonna. None of my mates managed to end this one. Some pints to the fishes in the Wensum river in Norwich. We should attend a game at Carrow Road in Norwich a couple of hours later. So a Canary pint sounded like a safe bet. How wrong can a man be. Norwich City made up for the mistake by winning their game 1-0!
Clear caramel golden color with almost no head. Caramel malty aroma with a low intensity. Medium light body and a soft to flat carbonation level. Tad sweet and almost no bitterness. Way out of balance. Caramel malt, cardboard and cooked vegetables in the flavor. Ohh noooo we want the money back. Maybe the fishes in the river enjoyed it…..
