There’s no other way to describe the head on this ale — it’s really frothy, especially on the initial pour. There was an initial explosion of fruity smells but it eventually subsides into a mellow sweetness. And I’m still referring to the nose, because the taste of this ale is anything but sweet. The dark copper color almost hides the fineness of the micro-bubbles rising to the top of the glass.
The bitterness really bites and clings. I like the heaviness of the brew. This is a beer for cold weather, which is quite apt for this holiday month. Ales aren’t as “easy” to drink as lagers and pilsners particularly in tropical countries and mostly because of the innate bitterness. This probably explains their utter rarity in the market.
It’s good to partake of a good ale once in a while to train the palate on the variety of “liquid refreshment,” and if only for that this ale succeeds.
