Black Sheep Ale (Special)
This is a great brew. It pours a slightly hazy orangey color. The carbonation is very mild. The head is pure white and long lasting, leaving very solid lace behind. The nose is of copious bitter and aroma hops and a little bit of maltiness. The taste is very complex with cedary, resiny hops dominating. There is also a dry yeastyness that is very evident, and pleasant. The malt is definitely in the background, but to me this is a good thing. I sense a slight astringency in the finish, though not overpowering. The mouthfeel of this beer is very creamy and smooth, I like the low carbonation. Highly drinkable, the low carbonation makes it less filling than lagers etc, I could through several of these back.
