Coming in a 500ml brown bottle, at 4.0%abv.; BB 31/08/2014, served cool in a straight imperial pint glass.
A: pours a bright amber colour with mild reddish hues, coming with a fluffy off-white head with good retention, and rather mild carbonation.
S: astringent citric and grassy scent of hops is underlined by a clean whiff of pale malts, at times giving out a light dusty note almost identical to that of bottled lager beers; a swirl gives rise to mildly sulphuric notes and a wee touch of sweet applely esters.
T: a fairly clean swallow of mildly fruity-flavoured malty theme with a particularly lingering aftertaste of (yum-like) starchy sweetness, underlined by an equally lingering touch of hop bitterness and a dry palate in the end. The bitter palate echoes the malt sweetness on a very good balance, all in all.
M&O: despite the “late application of hops”, this lightly carbonated and medium-bodied beer doesn’t taste that hoppy or aromatic as far as my palate is concerned, but the double dropping fermentation method does render a cleaner texture in a beer that achieves a balanced target b/w pure pale malts and bittering hops. Not as dry as Braskspear’s Bitter (Wychwood), which utilises the same double dropping fermentation system as this beer does (I believe, as Wychwood is now part of the Marston's family), but the fruity and lightly sulphuric undertones are there to be enjoyed in addition. Not bad.
