Around the world in 80 beers episode 204: Longstocking Amber Ale

[den]

Pours a clear, dark amber with a large head. Plenty of carbonation visible.

First sip: Lovely mid-strength malts with a slight fruity flavour. Very mild hops, with a very, very mild hoppy bitterness which lingers for a short while. Mild carbonation tingle on the tongue. Medium mouth-feel.

This is a tasty, yummy beer. Maybe it's because it's a hot day, or maybe it's because I don't enjoy being smashed on the mouth by a load of hops, but I am really enjoying drinking this. It's one for a Summer's BBQ, or even stilling in front of the fire after a Winter's day. Even the beer burp is nice.

This is a yummy beer.
