12 oz single, many thanks go out to Kevin for the chance to try this.
Pour offers a strangely red tinge to the beer with plenty of white head. The color goes beyond amber and to another level.
Nose offers little, but the tastes do deliver a touch more that I was expecting. Some light acidity on the malts and a light dry character that no-one is calling ‘hoppy’, but on the other hand does deliver a certain non-sweet note.
Ordinary? Sure, but a beer that doesn’t leave me unhappy, if at the same time doesn’t thrill. The mouthfeel and depth of character are lacking somewhat, but at the same time it’s not a complete disaster.
