This is
a beer that will sneak up and grab you with flavor. It's a very pleasant,
drinkable brew with a degree of flavor that belies it's unassuming color
and alcohol content. I was privileged to be one of the first Americans to
enjoy it from the cask here in the states this weekend at the New England
Real Ale Exposition, and I can tell you that it was one of the most
admired beers of the show.
From the first sip a delicious and ever-present biscuity malt character grabs the taste buds, then slowly fades to allow the very, very impressive 34 IBU hop bitterness to linger on the tongue for quite some time. The relative cleanness and 3.7% by volume alcohol level make this a beer one could easily imagine sipping all day in a pub along the Thames. A classic.
And remember, try a new beer today, and drink outside the box.
