(Notes of 31/10/09) Purchased at the New Delight Inn, Bridestones' brewery tap, during my recent beer trip to West Yorkshire. Coming in a 500ml brown bottle, not bottle-conditioned; no freshness info. is printed on the label or the bottle, served faintly chilled in a straight imperial pint glass.
A: pours a Russian-gold hue with very faint haze, coming with a decent flow of light carbonation and a light beige frothy head with good retention.
S: coming with a special aroma as of Aiyu seeds (as used in Taiwanese herbal Aiyu jelly) plus a wee bit of floral + citrus-peel-ish tartness, on top of very light nectar-ish pale malts. Hop elements seem to suggest a cross b/w Goldings & Cascade, but not very assertive overall.
T: a lightly sour edge of citrus fruits and nectar comes first, then, slowly, the bitter impact of hops manifests itself and turns drier, tangy, and a tad spicy as well, while the lingering grainy aroma of malts also sustains in the aftertaste. As a standard pale bitter, the fruitiness leads smoothly towards hop bitterness, while malts retreat to the background as a thin layer of backbone.
M&D: the carbonation as felt on the palate comes slightly lively, as opposed to what it looks like, but still pretty refreshing and not sharp; this light-bodied bitter drinks better and more interesting on cask, maybe aided a bit by a sparkler pour and also due to a more pronounced fruity hop presence. Still, I'm happy to have picked up this bottle, reminiscent of how wonderful the trip to West Yorkshire's beery countryside was!
