beer_name: Vintage Henley
text: 500mL. clear bottle. Bottle conditioned. Deep amber color sticky head with dense lace. Grape-like fruitiness and toasty malt aroma. The malt, fruitiness and Fuggles hops are blended to perfection. Mouthfeel is full with prickly carbonation. But why oh why are these guys or any other brewers for that matter using clear bottles??? An otherwise fine beer is marred by skunk! This could have been an exceptional beer. I would love to have this cask conditioned. At 5.5% abv. and considering the flavor profile of this brew, it seems more to me like an ESB.
