Lunchtime on 1st Sep 2017. 500ml bottle: BBE May 2018, obtained from Buon Vino, just outside Settle (North Yorks). Poured into an Abbot Ale badged glass tankard. Clean and clear amber body, full white crown on top. Malts in the nose and initial taste, piney hops and a light bitterness then kick in, mild fruity notes give the beer some interest and depth of flavour. Liked it.

500ml bottle: BBE May 2018. Obtained from Buon Vino, just outside Settle. Drank at home, lunchtime on 3rd Aug 2017. Poured into an Abbot Ale badged glass pint tankard. Clear amber body, good foaming blanket of white bubbles on top. Decent blend, fairly bitter overall but has a good semi-sweet malty base for the hops to play with. A little over chilled, even if the bottle label recommends 10 C, couldn’t find any aroma at such a low temp. Light malty notes appeared in the nose as it warmed a bit in the tankard.

Bottle from Spar Supermarket, Piccadilly Gardens, Manchester. Dark clear reddish-brown with no head. Aroma is sweet-berry fruit, with some of this in its taste, but with a richness that almost, but not quite disguises its roasted malts.
