The first beer tasted by half-pint at The Queens, Hornsey, N. London, during its first-ever beer festival 17-20 July 2006, featuring 14 British real ales~~ Gravity-dispensed.
A: amber or very dark golden in colour, no head detected--looking slightly flat, yet with perfect clarity.
S: floral hops and a slightly salty-sweet pale malts upfront, with an unmissable touch of hard brewing water; caramelised sugar's deep but mild burned edge manifests itself after a swirl, with more floral hops floating in the background.
T: a slightly peary-fruity palate is backed by a mildly tangy, citric edge of hops, closely ensued by a mild aftertaste of dryish touch of lightly-roasted malts and Demerara sugar. Short, medium-bitter finish.
M&D: due to the less-than-ideal serving condition, the beer tastes a touch too flat, and no healthy dose of fizziness is there to support, thus its thin-ish texture throughout--otherwise I'd expect a hoppy bitter with a balanced roasty tinge of malts. Gotta try it again.
