Bottle-conditioned version, coming in a 500ml brown glass bottle. BB 14 DEC 08, served cool in a straight imperial pint glass.
A: pours a slightly murky, bright blood-orange amber hue; the creamy off-white froth lasts well, on top of moderate carbonation.
S: as with all experimental bottle-conditioning, the yeasts and sugar level have rendered a musty, damp, and oxidised-pear-ish edge to the nose; other than that there're basic pale malts.
T: the initial effervescent intake of yeastiness and sour-sweet, pear-ish & orange-citric fruitiness gets a little nutty undertone, turning mildly spicy as well as herbally bitter as it goes. In the aftertaste, the pale malts contribute a soothing biscuity flavour, supported by a good depth of powdery yeastiness, herbs, and a touch of phenol (due to yeasts or infection?!)... The healthy dose of bitterness remains consistently, but never pronounced enough to dominate the balance.
M&D: the carbonation level is higher than it looks, but because it's natural the sparkling texture is rather welcomed. All in all, if one can ignore/endure the pungent sourness on the nose and the initial tart-yeastiness on the palate, this ale actually drinks better and better... Should definitely try to seek out the cask version and get all (and only) the goodies in one jug~~
