Brasserie Cornelyshaff: Cornely.
Strength: 4.7% ABV.
Style: Artisanal Pale Ale / Amber.

33cl Twisted & Curved Flute Serving Glass.
Tasted on draft at the Brasserie Cornelyshaff Brewpub on 19th April '03, during a Brewery Visit.

Appearance: Slightly hazy amber-orange color which varies with the light. When held up directly in the light it is a bright orange infusion, on the bar it looks like an Amber ale. A beer with a split personality perhaps? The head is a cream colored offering that sits well on the beer throughout the drink. The cream head matched the color (colors?) of the beer and it all goes to make for an attractive looking offering overall.

Smell: A string whiff of deep cooked malts, but not your usual roast odors, this has more a smell of porridge oats, whole-wheat biscuits and fresh grain.

Taste: Another strange beer from Cornelyshaff. The beginning and middle is a multi-mix of porridge oats, grain, husks, whole-wheat & other agricultural harvesting odors. The ending reminds of freshly baked bread. Muddled from start to finish, but maybe this is intentional, maybe this is how it is supposed to be? Who knows?

Mouthfeel: A beer with muddled lines and some grainy edges that sits in the mouth awkwardly at times – it cannot seem to make its mind up.

Drinkability: It’s not difficult to drink, but neither is it a quaffing beer – it is a sort of middle of the road.

Overall: This is quite a strange beer from Cornelyshaff. It was only available on draft at the Cornelyshaff bar at the time of our visit. It maybe organic and made with local materials, but it has a “hotch-potch” element to it – it is neither an Amber, nor a Pale Ale, more of a Pale Amber Ale. I only had one of these and I just couldn’t make my mind up about this one.
