(Notes of 22/02/07) 5.5%abv., coming in a 500ml clear bottle. BB SEP 07, served cool in a straight imperial pint glass.
A: bright reddish amber, faint foam on top of fine fizziness with occasional ejections of large bubbles from the glass bottom.
S: densely sweet dried plums, Goldings and floral notes come on top of a touch of coconut and burned-sugary malts--slightly too intrusive and not balanced.
T: tangy and sour-sweet citrus fruits, caramel malts, mixed with a mildly dryish and yet rusty aftertaste of dried leafy hops--pretty tangy-zesty in the end. Little structure is shown on the palate, hence quite simplistic and boring, lacking a clear theme in the flavour profile.
M&D: thin-bodied and overly fizzy, in line with the poor bottling performace of most Shepherd Neame's bottled beers. I guess pasteurisation has killed off most flavours in this beer. Not recommended, but it's not horrible, either.
