Premium Manx Ale from Bushy's

5/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 4 Flavor 5 Texture 6 Overall 5
Flaske på RB samling hjemme (takk til Odd Gunnar): kveldens femte nye land, og den eneste som til nå gir en liten ølopplevelse.Ikke mye aroma å snakke om, og brown ale er ikke en av mine favorittstiler. Grei nok smak og en lett bitterhet i ettersmaken som sikkert gjør dette til et brukbart pøseøl på Man..

Cask at GBBF ’13, 15/08/13. Very lightly hazed dark amber with a moderate off white covering. Noe is biscuit malt, caramel, fruits. Taste comprises bitter orange, caramel malt, biscuit, sugars.Medium bodied, fine carbonation, dy finish with a touch of bitterness. Solid enough drop - came across more an ESB than a bitter to me.

GBBF Day 3. Clear amber beer, no real head. Palate is low carbonation. Little orange hops, whisper of honey. Finshes smooth. Okay, if a bit thin and flat.
