3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20 BlackHaddock (5113) - Shropshire, ENGLAND - SEP 14, 2014
Font called it The Fall Guy an American Red Rye Beer. 11th Sep 2014 at the tourist infested George Inn, Borough, London.
Hand-pulled pint, red hue to the clear amber body with an off-white head that gave lacing. Aroma is malty with semi-sweet caramel and toffee notes. Mild fruity hints also appeared as the beer warmed in the afternoon sun. The taste followed the aromas very closely and leaned towards malty sweetness throughout. Decent and a pleasant surprise to find such a beer in a London tourist trap.
3.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20 Smalltipple (1) - - AUG 5, 2014 does not count
On pouring, deep coppery red. Slightly hazy.
The nose is quite spiced, sweet tones coming through before a hit of hoppy, flowery aroma. Fairly citrusy and fruity.
On first sip, straight away theres a sweet and unexpected hoppy hit assault , orangey with banoffee-like tones. Sweet rye comes through next and its comes through good with a spicy, cinnamon like taste.
Great beer, and at a pretty standard 4.5% abv its easy drinking. Id chose this over your heavier rye-based Pale Ales any day for the refreshing taste and easier mouthfeel.
