L- Pale to mid amber, veery slightly hazy, pours with 3mm white head.
S- Grains and a sense of vague fruit, not prominent enough to define.
T- Quite hoppy dry on the front, then the taste (as per smell) seems to drift into light anonymity. I don't taste tea, nor the bergamot found in Earl Grey tea, though Bergamot is a member of the citrus family so perhaps that +/or the Galaxy hops bring the light touch of fruit?
F- Somewhat dry/medium-dry but I don't find this very rewarding, the Feel comes front-loaded on a sip after which it drifts off fast.
O- It's a shame, I've long been a fan of Adnams but I'm unclear what they were trying to achieve with this brew.
Bought from the Adnams shop on the Holkham Estate (from where Adnams source their grain) in Norfolk.
I've categorised this under 'Fruit and Field beer' as both tea and bergamot are supposed to be key here, and both grow in plantations or the 'field'
330ml can BBE: 02-2020 bought as part of a 6-pack selection box.
p.s. I feel regret listing this first review and not finding more positives. Perhaps someone will follow who genuinely understands this beer better than I've been able to.
