I forgot this beer even existed until I saw it for sale in a local pub a few weeks back, and I managed to track it down in a supermarket.
Pours a Honey colour with a thick, frothy white head. Loads of carbonation rising up from the bottom.
Nose gives you grainy malts, a biscuity-honey sweetness, herbal and slightly skunked hops with a slight touch of citrus.
Light malt flavours suggesting raw grain, cereals and the lightest of honey sweetness. Hops don't deliver much in terms of flavour, but notes of pine needles, thistle and nettles make themselves known, with a very mild bitterness. Hardly any linger on the palate.
Crisp and clean with a light/medium body. Very little astringency and brisk carbonation. There isn't a great deal going on in this beer, it just feels as if there is something missing from the malt base, as it just doesn't taste right to me, and the honey flavours are very slight and hardly noteworthy.
Disappointing from Wells & Young.
