L- A clear vivid golden. Poured with a 2mm white head that holds well.
S- Grainy/bready, mild.
T- Hmmm... bready, and I'm glad it's not over-hopped/dry - considering it's chilly late December. It's a very trad taste, ie no bad surprises, no shouty statements etc. There is also suffient hoppy lick in the finish to keep the palate refreshed.
F- It's a good solid feel for it's modest 5% and yet as ^ it remains refreshing.
O- Nice. Trad and it's beauty is in the subtlety of how all the facets come together and align very nicely. Eminently sessionable. Pretty versatile year-around as well I'd have though; quite unusual how they've got both a quite meaty body plus a mildly hoppy finish built upon it's quite modest 5%ABV
- This bottle was part of a gift to me. TBH I glanced at the front of the lable, dayglo green and rather rudimentary, a brewery I'm unfamiliar with, 5%... my expectations were not high. Well, you know the old expression 'Never judge a beer by it's labelling'... this one has proved it true, I'm enjoying this.
500ml bottle BB: 04/2022 Contains wheat and barley.

During Jan 2012 my local Wetherspoons decided to launch a ‘Brewery of the Month’ promotion: that brewery was Limestone. This beer was available on a couple of occasions when I went in, this is a review when I actually had a hand pulled pint.
The beer pours a light amber/blonde colour, clear but not bright like a lager: on top a thin white head that tried to stay and leave some lacing.
No great smells came from the beer although the Maris Otter Malts gave off a biscuit aroma as the beer warmed a little in the glass.
Those biscuit aromas carried on into the taste, with German (Hersbrucker) Hops blending nicely to produce an easy drinking, well balanced pint. The name is a play on Einstein of course: not sure what he would have thought of it? His bust was on the font label.
