Brown 500ml bottle, best before 16 Mar 2012, drank and reviewed on 17 Aug 2011. Poured into an Abbot Ale tankard. The beer had a slight chill haze to it, most likely my fault for cooling it for too long. The colour was a dirty light amber, an off-white head sitting on top. The smell was of sweet peas and toffee, so a floral molasses type of thing. The taste was initially had a malty sweetness, but once you swill it around in the mouth a bit you can feel the hop bitterness kicking in. It’s OK, I’ll not be rushing out to buy crates of it, but it is the best ’Royal Wedding’ beer that I’ve had (for William and Kate anyway).
bottle at home ... amber ... thin white head ... soft toffee malt ... quite metalic ... metallic front ... quite bitter ... musty ... little grassy ... not my things at all
Bottle from Morrisons. Amber colour, thin white head. Aroma is light malted, bit of caramel and fruits. Flavour is caramel malts, some hops and spices. Slightly bitter and dry finish. A bit odd.
