Ossett Nervous Turkey
Ossett Brewing Company

(Notes of 01/2008) Tasted by a half-pint at the Swim Inn, a JDW pub in Sheffield, served by a sparkler pour.

A: deep golden in colour, coming with a creamy white froth and low carbonation.
S: the nose if sharply flowery (like Chinese camomile) and citric, mixed with notes of lemon tea, honey, light butter, very very mild malts... Nice blend for a golden bitter.
T: the foretaste is filled with fresh hops, flowery flavour, and a twist of lime zest... bitterness expands closely afterwards, rather dry, showing a fresh palate with chewy tannins, while pale malts make a belated entry on the backbone, light in flavour but provides a mildly bitter-sweet edge on the overall balance. Very bitter in the finish, chewy, and dry-ish as well.
M&D: lightly spritzy (this is a fresh cask), light-bodied, featuring a long bitter finish; like most (if not all) Ossett ales, this is a pretty hoppy and enjoyable offer.
