A 500ml bottle with a BB of Dec 2014. Picked up a little while back from the York Beer & Wine shop. Yorkshire Heart is actually a vineyard that has a microbrewery attached - they have a special significance for me as my sister had her wedding reception there.
Poured into a tulip pint glass. Bottle conditioned. A light, hazy golden-amber hue with fine sediment and low carbonation. Yields a large head of frothy white foam that lasts for a couple of minutes before disappearing. Aroma of light, grainy malt with hints of leafy hops, ale yeast, subtle earthiness and faint stewed leaves. A touch of cardboard in the background. Rather subdued.
Tastes of mild grainy malt with a dry finish. Notes of grain, earthy yeast, stewed hops and a hint of grass/hay. Well-attenuated, followed by a restrained, leafy bitterness upon swallowing. Mouthfeel is smooth, tingly and dry, with pleasant carbonation and a rather insubstantial body. Slightly astringent, accompanied by an aftertaste of dry, earthy yeast and stewed leaves.
Hmmm; so-so. Not terrible but hardly a standout offering either. Looks alright, while the aroma and flavour are a muted blend of grainy malt, earthy yeast and traditional hop notes. Somewhat watery. Body is a tad thin but I suppose at 3.3% it's to be expected. A true session ale that is probably better on cask; the yeast develops too much in the bottle. Goes down alright but could use some tweaking - worth trying if you stumble across it.
