A 500ml bottle with a BB of June 2018. Acquired recently from a local off-licence. Described on the label as a traditional bitter brewed with Maris Otter and English hops. The brewery is also a grain merchant in business since 1863; from whence this beer takes its name (I presume).
A: Poured into a tulip pint glass. A deep amber hue with good clarity and moderate carbonation. Produces a smallish head of creamy white foam that lasts for a moment or two before subsiding and dissipating.
S: Aroma of grainy caramel malt with hints of mild barley sugar, ale yeast, hay, leafiness and faint stewed husks. Unadventurous but pleasant enough.
T: Tastes of grainy malt with notes of caramel, subtle barley sugar, ale yeast, leafiness, hay and vague stewed leaves/husks. Slightly sweet, followed by a mild leafy bitterness upon swallowing.
M: Mouthfeel is smooth and tingly, with soft carbonation and good body for the strength. Aftertaste of grainy malt, light caramel, ale yeast and mild leafy hops.
O: Pretty good - a solidly crafted ale with a traditional profile. Looks OK, while the aroma and flavour are a blend of grainy caramel malt, ale yeast and leafy hops. Nice body. Drinkable and satisfying; the ideal session beer. Worth sampling if you favour old school ales.
