1 liter plastic bottle 4,0% Abv.
Served chilled in an over sized wine glass.
Purchased from the brewery.
Appearance: Copper-red body (clear) topped by a large, lightly creamy, white head that displays good retention and leaves a little lace.
Smell: Mmmm, this actually smells delicious! It looks like this beer will be a big improvement on Anvil's Biere d' Saison! Sweet caramel malt, honey, nutty toasted malts and a lovely floral hop note make up the majority of the nose, with fruity tones and a hint of spice also being noted. This is actually one of the best smelling pale ales I have had and is reminiscent of Batemans XXXB.
Taste: As the nose suggested, this is a delicious pale ale! The flavour not quite as full as the nose, but is nonetheless very enjoyable. The initial flavour is quite sweet with notes of honey and caramel malt. Nutty, toasted malt and floral English hops make up the rest of the flavour. The finish is very lightly bitter and does just enough to balance the initial sweetness.
Mouthfeel: Light body and sadly over carbonated. On the plus side, the carbonation is pretty smooth and hence is not as unpleasant as it might have been.
Overall: A very good pale ale and one I will certainly buy again each time I travel though Dullstroom.
