Une IPA cette bière? Absolument pas. Nous sommes sur une base d'une bière maltée avec un alcool structurant, colonne vertébrale. Tout juste est-elle un peu plus amère que la moyenne des bières du genre. On regrettera cependant une bière sans imagination, plate et banale dans ses arômes. Difficile de faire naître des émotions dans ce cas. Le visuel est sur un blond doré, légèrement voilé avec une mousse blanche nappant la surface. Le nez est simple avec caramel, céréales, un alcool qui donne un peu de tempérament et un brin d'écorce d'orange et d'herbes. En bouche, caramel, miel alcool et céréales sont sur les devants, avec une amertume relativement neutre, légèrement épicée et herbacée. C'est en seconde bouche que l'alcool prend le plus ses aises, faisant bien ses 8,5 % empêchant le sucre, trop poussé d'alourdir trop l'ensemble. C'est sur l'arrière bouche et le final que l'amertume est un peu plus poussée, mais une amertume neutre, sans relief. Corpulence et longueur sont acceptables. C'est sérieux, trop....c'est ennuyeux.

Bottle from Low Cost Beer online. Pours clear brown with a thin white head. Aromas of nuts, sherry, red fruit. Taste is slightly jammy, some toffee. Lightly oxidized, not surprising given the bbe date, but I think it works nicely with the style.

Easter Sunday 2021, 4th April; mega session at home. 750ml bottle, as 'Chiara', 6%ABV, well out of date (30th Nov 2017). Shared with four others. Sadly this didn't age well and even though the first three glasses were clear the sediment in the last two ruined the taste of this beer. Scored kindly because of it's age, but not a beer for laying down!

Easter Sunday 2021, 4th April; mega session at home. 750ml bottle, well out of date (BB 30th Oct 2017); shared with four others. 6%ABV. Poured with a mini haze, golden in colour with a fast fading white head, sediment in the last two glasses. Mellowed somewhat, but still very drinkable, mild fruitiness still there after all those years. scored kindly because of it's age.
