Brown 500ml bottle containing a bottled condition English Bitter.
I had the pleasure of visiting the brewery and cottage to pick this and their other beers up last Saturday, it is set in an idilic spot close to the English/Welsh border in a little village.
The beer was poured into a straight sleeved pint glass.
Deep amber body with a very, very slight haze, maybe some sediment got into the glass? The head never really got going and what was on top at the end of the pour had almost all gone before I picked up the glass to smell it.
A pleasant hoppy, fruity (apples and pears) aroma. Stronger than a lot of English bitters.
There is a good honest bitterness to this beer, it has a full flavour for a beer of only 3.9%. Although it was bottle conditioned it wasn't fizzy or over cabonated, it was almost like a cask bitter, which of course is what they are aiming at.
I thought this a delightful bitter and the fruitiness stayed within the mouthfeel for some time, it isn't a heavy or thick drink, but it isn't watery either. 'Just the ticket' as it says on the label.
Glad i went out and found the place, I have two more of their beers to try. I hope they are as good as this one was.
