Historical Community Tasting Notes

Preserved from the RateBeer community archive (circa 2000–2018)

Bottle, Beer Ritz, Leeds. Dark reddy orange pour with a nice looking tan head. Nose was caramel malt heavy with some hop presence and notes of brown sugar and fruits. Similar story in the flavour, sweet and a little sticky with the hoppage turned up considerably. Lingering and very bitter finish.I enjoyed this but it seemd to become increasingly m
UPDATED: MAR 6, 2011 Pours a dark brown with a tiny beige head. On the nose you get caramel malts, hops, earth and dark fruits. Taste is the same along with citrus and sweet notes like sirup and honey - some nature taste near the end like stable and fields. Sour ending but indeed a bit IPA-like..
Bottled 65cl. Ordered from www.erzbierschof.ch. Hazy copper appearance. Boletus, tobacco, citrusy hops and caramel throughout. Full bodied. Good bitterness.
