beer_name: Holy Joe
text: Tasted this beer by half-pint at the Wenlock Arms, London, last week. A: it pours an amber hue with a slightly orangey hint; the head is thin but foamy, against a static body... very low carbonation. S: deep flowery scent (peace-blossom mixed with elderflower?) and sweetish lemony-zesty aroma (Cascade or the like) upfront, against the backdrop of peaches and mildly-sweetish malts. T: refreshingly citrus-fruity and flowery taste of hops leads the palate; the slightly bitter-sweet citrus-zest (like white grapefruit) lies on a bed of mildly sweet malts; more floral and root-vegetable like bitterness with slightly spicy flavour of coriander seeds lend to a nuanced salty texture at the back, finished rather clean and just a bit dryish, with good amount of fruity bitter-sweetness lingering... M&D: medium-bodied and very light and lifting on the palate, this is a fine beer with a citrus-theme and a touch of spice, albeit a bit sweet on balance. Recommended.
