Tasted by half-pint at my local JDW pub, the Half Moon, East End London.
A: bright copper hue without any sign of beer head but with chill-haze(?); very low carbonated body.
S: infection-like sour-pears and sour-apples all over the place... on top of a brown-sugary hint of malts. Not remarkable.
T: caramely malt's sweetness and mildly herbal bitterness prevail pretty fast from the beginning, laced with a touch of apple-ish fruits and faintly citric-sweetness at the back; an increasingly bitter aftertaste introduces more tea-leafy hops and a lingering yet understated roasty- and nutty-bitter edge of malts in the end.
M&D: lightly spritzy but settles fast to a smoother mouthfeel. The flavour seems affected much less by the "almost-off" issue than the aroma, which is compromised big time and leaves little to enjoy. All in all, it could've tasted much better when fresher and at a better pub than this 'Spoon's, whose cellarmanship is really inconsistent as far as my experience is concerned.
