Knight of the Garter (Windsor & Eton) 3.8%Abv
The Bunker has already enjoyed the superb Conqueror Black IPA (8/10) and the unique Guardsman Oaked Best Bitter (8/10) from Windsor and Eton, so how does their Golden Ale compare?
Pours a bright and crystal clear golden. Big powerful hop aroma, spicy, floral and very fresh.
The taste is instantly hoppy, exploding into a fresh crisp bitterness leaving only small traces of sweet malt behind. As the beer lingers on the palate the hop bittering amplifies greatly, a diverse array of sharp citrus bittering.
It's quite rare (but very pleasing) to find a weak session beer that is so powerfully and beautifully hopped, it certainly reminded me of Darkstar Hophead.
8/10 A fantastically hopped session ale.
Thanks to Windsor and Eton for providing, I suggest you check out their beers here.
