65cl bottle: BB 29th Dec 19. Shared by me with four others at the May gathering of the Shrewsbury Beer Share group in Chez Sophie. I found this beer in an Off-Licence in Tottenham somewhere. An off-white blanket of foam sat proudly on a clear amber body, it looked fine. Although it was malty in nature it was also fairly dry, especially the aftertaste. Surprised and pleased it wasn't your typical African pale lager with a corn sweetness. My 140th country rate, slowly moving around the world!
