Northumberland - 50 Shades Of Ale from North Blyth
12 years ago
6/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 5 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 6
Hand-pulled half-pint in the Crown Inn, Oakengates during the carol singing on 21st Dec 13. Old gold/Amber in colour, clear but not really bright in appearance, the head a white and full. The nose was of sweet molasses and no hints of hops. The taste was a fairly sweet flavour of both treacle and caramel giving way to a good dry finish that appeared from nowhere. OK rather than sexy.

5.2/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 5 Flavor 5 Texture 6 Overall 5
Cask @ Diggers, Edinburgh [131013]
Caramel brown, clear, dense off white head, some lacing
Aroma of soft sweet caramel malt, bit metallic, overall little on nose
Taste of soft caramel, some toffee, bit nutty, dab of honey, touch of soft roast, bit dull overall and flavour falls flat in the middle.
Palate - Light medium body, smooth but bit watery, fairly sweet palate. FInish as main flavour, bit dry, bitterish slight metallic tail
Overall - Soft malts in here, but generally a bit underflavoured and has some rough edges. It’s not that great overall

Handpulled cask ale, half, at Malt Shovel Inn. Deep dark brown coloured body. Bubbly ring to the rim of the surface. Caramel malts on the nose, hints of herbal hops. Dark, fruit caramel flavours with dusty hops and a touch of basement. Nice bittersweet malty ending. Medium bodied. Pleasing (Edinburgh, pub crawl with mr_h, 09.08.2013).

Golden ale with a creamy head and a malty aroma. It has a smooth texture but it is just a bitterness for its flavour.
