This bottle conditioned beer came my way via my daughter: best before 02/2012, brown 500ml bottle.
Strange named beer, I'll let you guess the reason and source of the name 'High Pike': no, it's not a 'pissed fish' or an old English spear type weapon!
I poured the beer carefully into my 'Abbot Ale' glass tankard: it is a lovely chestnut reddy brown colour, bright and clear, no sediment left the bottle. The head is a huge foaming pile of bubbles: off-white to biege in colour.
Cracking smells of malty goodness rise from the glass and that malty aroma carries on into the taste flavours too.
I like a malty beer and this fits the bill nicely: the hops are there, but in the background ensuring the beer isn't sweet or like a malt loaf in taste. There is an earthy, dry hop finish to each sip at first, however the malts come back as the duration of the flavours elongate further than you'd expect.
One of the best UK 'bottle conditioned' beers I've ever had!
