Kiss Me Kate
Brown 500ml bottle, best before 16 Mar 2012, drank and reviewed on 17 Aug 2011. Poured into an Abbot Ale tankard. The beer had a slight chill haze to it, most likely my fault for cooling it for too long. The colour was a dirty light amber, an off-white head sitting on top. The smell was of sweet peas and toffee, so a floral molasses type of thing. The taste was initially had a malty sweetness, but once you swill it around in the mouth a bit you can feel the hop bitterness kicking in. It's OK, I'll not be rushing out to buy crates of it, but it is the best 'Royal Wedding' beer that I've had (for William and Kate anyway).
