Look at that rich, red, burnt caramel colour- stunning! The head was thin and white, but long lasting. At first sniff the aroma of sweet, tropical fruits really came through and I was reminded slightly of Meantime’s Yakima Red. That fruitiness followed through in the tasting, but there was also a nutty depth to it, a sort of roasted chestnut flavour, which ended in flat bitterness. With no carbonation at all this is best served slightly warmer, preferably while wearing a flat cap.
This is great. It’s not the first time Adnams have collaborated with a craft brewery (they currently have another out with Six Point Brewery) and I hope it isn’t the last. Other big brewers could learn a thing or two from Adnams in terms of their drinks and their branding. I can’t wait to see what they do next.
