The L’Eroica beer has been brewed to reflect the Tour De France event coming to Britain for the first time and reflects one of the great styles of British beer a Pale Ale. It provides a showcase for a blend of classic English hops including Challenger, Fuggles and Bramling Cross that give the beer a crisp and refreshing taste – what could be better after a long bike ride.

500ml bottle @ Chez Sophie, Shrewsbury as ’Handsome’. Pours clear gold, large white head. Aroma is floral peppery English hops. Taste continues, nicely balanced and rather refreshing with a smooth sweet malt presence.

Bouteille 50cl, merci Pierre T. BB 18/06/2016. DorĂ©e, col blanc ArĂŽme offre un bouquet fruitĂ© noble anglais, maltĂ© modĂ©rĂ© apportant un lĂ©ger cĂŽtĂ© grains, caramel, fin pĂąle. Levure perce en rĂ©tro. Palais reste assez simple dans une impression trĂšs anglaise, note pĂąle, crisp avec un citronnĂ© prenant et herbacĂ© axĂ© sur l’usage anglais noble. Fini est sec mais gardant une certaine douceur fleurie.

Bottle thnx to Martin ! Pours very clear blonde. Small white head. Smell is weak, some maltyness. Taste is midly bitter, with some malts. Balancedand drinkable in a way UK is ruler. Some hoparoma as well. Nice bitter, malty-tasting aftertaste. Like this beer, for an easy-drinker during summers this could be one I order often.

500ml bottle into an Abbot Ale badged pint tankard at home late on 15th Sep 2015. Pale golden yellow with a good sized white head. Aroma deadened by the over chilling of this refreshing and ’crisp’ Pale Ale, some hop notes arrive later in the nose, but weak. Subtle hop flavours in the taste, light malts in the background. Decent.
