Label design suggests yuppie beer and name
suggests a new style. Instant dislike soon turned to appreciation when I
took my first sip. Pale straw-like shade of golden, with a thin soft white
foam, the faintest of haze, and a very moderate level of carbonation.
Aroma is pretty pleasing and inviting, fresh and flowery, with slight
hints of herbs. It shows a mild maltiness, is moderately fruity/lemony
with a little hop spice. Palate is remarkably soft and smooth, mild, light
to medium bodied, while there’s a slight chewiness as well as a little
tingling carbonation, more so at the tip. Starts out very sweet with signs
of sweet lemon, almost hinting towards orange, with a smooth honey-like
maltiness, and a mid-palate fruitiness that suggests (but doesn’t quite
shout out) apricots. The honey and the lighter lemon do play a nice
balancing act together, while there’s a tangy bitterness to the finish
that is also slightly dry. A mild bitterness lingers, but the honey and
lemon sweetness shine through, leaving a very pleasantly satisfying
aftertaste. A very well executed lager, probably one of the best in the
UK. |
