Today CAMRA declared it their Bottled Beer of 2010.
So is it worthy of the title?
It pours a beautiful brown amber, perfect fizz and a delicious toffee coloured foaming head. It has a beautiful sweet and floral bouquet with hints of heather and honey.
Lovely warm maltiness, followed by a delicate hop bitter finish, such a perfect balance of bittersweet leaves no highs or lows just consistent smooth balanced flavour. A lovely mellow oakiness and hints of rum and warm spirits.
10/10 Pure bottled perfection, warmth, balance and a hundred delicate flavours. Go buy a bottle and be amazed.
Totally agree, perfect ale.
ReplyDeleteNice blog also!
Thanks!
ReplyDeleteIts a great beer, still as good everytime i have one. Its the one I give to people who say they don't like beer and only drink lager. The Tribute is also great, one of the few beers i think is actually nicer in a bottle!
