A 500ml bottle with a BB of Aug 2018. Purchased recently from ALDI. Described on the label as an amber ale brewed with five British hop varieties - Bramling Cross, EKG, First Gold, Challenger and Admiral.

A: Poured into a tulip pint glass. A clear coppery-amber colour with good carbonation. Forms a large head of creamy white foam that lasts for a minute or two before subsiding to a persistent surface layer. Slight lacing.

S: Aroma of fruity ale yeast with hints of caramel malt, stewed hops, hay/twigs and a touch of wet cardboard. Faintly harsh. Underwhelming, especially for a beer made with five hop varieties.

T: Tastes of caramel malt with notes of fruity ale yeast, leafy stewed hops, hay and a twinge of cardboard. A mildly acrid bitterness upon swallowing.

M: Mouthfeel is smooth and tingly, with spritzy carbonation and decent body for the strength. Bit too prickly. Aftertaste of bitter stewed hops, ale yeast and malt.

O: Meh. Looks OK, while the aroma and flavour are a predictable mix of caramel malt, fruity yeast and harsh stewed hops. Average body; bit too carbonated. Doesn't live up to the claims on the label and falls directly into the category of boring brown beer. No need to seek it out.
