Rating:7/10
A nice just off white fluffy head of half an inch that dissapates. A nice copper orange body.
A rich sweet citrus (dried apricot) nose with a hint of caremel malts. Not bad.
The maltyness is really quite prevalent upon tasting- it's creamy, and juicy and spicy (pepper) also. The hops give off both the spicey hotness then followed with a citrus (grapefruit and orange rind) hit lastly followed by the melding of the malts and hops together that linger notably. This last sensation from this brew is not sitting with me well- I don't know if the malt is roasted or not but it's just a little raw for me.
I've put off this review 'cos I was having trouble putting my finger on just what was putting me off this beer which has other characteristics that I really like but it's the raw malt finish that turns me off from loving this ale.
All the same I'm giving it 7/10. It's easy to drink but for me finishes in a way that spoils what comes before the last note.
