Iceni, Fine Soft Day (England) 
"Iceni" was an ancient Celtic tribe who lived where this Norfolk brewery now stands. This live ale is made with a touch of maple syrup. It pours a warm deep gold with gentle haziness, and a good off-white head. The nose has a nice green hop character, but also had a little whiff of sillage, which soon blew off. beneath there is a caramel note and some honey. On the palate it is quite crisp and fresh, with a blast of citrus fruit soon joined by dry, bitter hops adding a very savoury quality. The syrup doesn't really make itself felt, but there is a little hint of brown sugar and chocolate right in the finish that might be a reference. A crisp, summer beer that is most enjoyable. 4.0% ABV, 50cl, �2.50, Realaleshop.  | |
