This was the 4th beer tasted at the Pembury Tavern in Hackney, N. London, during its 3rd Beer Festival earlier this summer (18-22/07/2007). This spacious pub had rightly accumulated plenty of praises and awards for its contribution to the real ale scene in London. This time round, 15 festival beers were served on the handpumps at any one time plus 9 others on stillage displayed right beside the entrance! I was there on the last day so, alas, some beers were gone already. But still I had around 13 real ales to choose from!
A: dark yellow straw in colour, with a little haze, topped with a white puffy foam.
S: ginger, lemon-grass, a kind of Taiwanese grass-jelly called Ai-Yu, cane-sugary malts come together, with a slightly more assertive lemony smell at the fringe. A whiff of hay-ish stink-iness follows a good swirl. Quite unusual and very pleasant.
T: as in the aroma, the sweet sugary "Ai-Yu" and almond-jelly precede a floral hoppy mid-taste and gingers salty-spiciness. Pretty herbal yet sweet in the end, but gradually losing the plot due to a thin-ish and tarty finishing taste.
M&D: light fizziness balances the otherwise flat palate, this Blond Ale has apparently past its prime, but still features an intriguing lemony and dryish theme overall.
