A 500ml bottle with a BB of June 2013, so it's a little out of date but hopefully still good. Acquired from the York Wine & Beer shop some time back. Named after the brewery dog, whose silhouette features on the label.
Poured into a tulip pint glass. Bottle conditioned and very lively. An orange-amber hue with fine sediment and intense carbonation. Produces a vast head of creamy white foam; so large that it requires several pours. This possesses excellent stability and slowly reduces to a thick surface layer. Nice lacing. Aroma of earthy yeast with hints of grainy malt, grass/hay, mild citrus and faint stewed hops. Lop-sided but pleasant.
Tastes of subtle caramel malt with a hoppy character and a dry, bitter finish. Notes of earthy yeast, grass/hay, mild citrus, a hint of peppery spice, grain and faint stewed hops. Highly attenuated, followed by a crisp bitterness upon swallowing. Mouthfeel is smooth, dry and tingly, with good carbonation and a decent body. Pretty astringent, with an aftertaste of bitter stewed hops and dry, earthy yeast.
Not bad - quite a tasty brew. The main problem is the age of the bottle; the yeast has developed too much and dominates the character. It looks great, with an amazing meringue-like head. The aroma and flavour are decent, with subtle fruity hops drowned in an excess of earthy yeast. Good body with satisfying texture. A worthy ale that belies the home-made labelling on the bottle. Give it a whirl if you come across it.
