Bottle-conditioned, 500ml brown bottle with a very...easy-going(?)/primitive, home-made style beer label... BBE 06/06, served cool in a straight imperial pint glass.
A: lightly hazy copperish hue, effervescent and tightly creamy off-white head with good retention…gently carbonated—looking great!
S: fruit-esters abound--melons, lemons, cherries and ripe berry-fruits mixed together, backed by sourly-fruity, pineapple-ish as well as piney yeasty touch and a bed of very mild caramel maltiness. Light yet aromatic, accompanied by a strong flow of yeastiness common to many home brews.
T&M: a sharply-yeasty (damp leaves, and wet cardboard paper-ish) palate gradually yields a roasted nutty and black-tea-ish bittersweet maltiness in the background; leading to a dry and slightly abrupt leafy bitterness in the finish with a lightly warming touch(?!). Overall the texture is too floating and thinly-bubbly, even like a fizzy soft drink, I guess the yeast condition is not ideal in this bottle-conditioned experiment. The flavour is only salvaged by the slowly intensifying tea-ish maltiness, otherwise the beer is not very drinkable.
D: quite a few micro-breweries in this country have made well-intentioned attempt to bottle real ales. But maybe due to lack of experience, this one is yet another work-in-progress and one should seek out the cask-conditioned form to really appreciate the beer as it should be.
