Shipstone's, Traditional Bitter (England)
Shipstone's is a traditional brewing name, but this is an Aldi brand, with no declaration of who makes it, or where it is produced. It pours a nice nutty brown/ruby colour with a thick, but qucikly disappating white head. The nose has a little vegetal aroma, with some hoppy character and a dry, malted note. On the palate it is quite creamy, with a slightly metallic flavour (or is that just my prejudice against cans?) and a palatable if unexciting hoppy base with really quite good oily hop bitterness in the finish. This is actually a decent session beer, though it doesn't set the heather on fire. 4.0% ABV, 44cl, �0.89, Aldi.  |  |
