Brown 500ml bottle, best before 27 Jan 2012, poured into a UK pint straight sleeve glass on 15 June 2011. Good looking beer, amber/chestnut brown, clean and clear. A full lightly tanned head sat proudly on top. The back label mentions dark Guyana sugar as an ingrediant and the beer did give off a semi-sweet molasses aroma. Certainly more malty in the smells than any hop content. The taste like the smell is more malt than hops, but the Northdown hop in the brew does appear, as a bitterness arrives towards the end when the mouth begins to dry after each sip. Not bad at all, the 4.2%ABV sits well within the brew and it is fairly well balanced.
