6.5/10 — Appearance 10 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6
Sampled at the brewery. An attractive shiny chestnut colour with a dense cream head; simple malty aroma; sweet and nutty taste with some spice; and then a dry spicy bitterness leading to a nutty caramel finish. I didn’t pick up on the Hallertau Blanc hops at all, this seemed a rather basic chestnut bitter to me.

Cask at the George & Dragon, West Wycombe. Pale amber with a thin white head. Soapy lemon up front. The soap fortunately fades a little (although not completely) to leave lemon milkshake with a crisp dry finish. Definitely one of Rebellion’s poorer monthly specials.
