Wells Brewery, Bombardier (England) 
The odd bottle size is because this is a pint, or "Full English Pint" as it rather bombastically claims on the neck collar. Charles Wells has brewed a fine auburn/chestnut-coloured beer with an off-white head. On the nose there is a melange of toasty malt and crisp red fruit, that is quite plummy. On the palate there's an initial hint of sweetness and a thick, cushioning texture, that is soon overtaken by a raft of bitter, oily hop flavours. The toastiness builds again into the finish, but that tension against grippy hopiness remains. 5.2% ABV, 56.2cl, �1.69, Asda, Booth's, Safeway, Sainsbury's, Waitrose.  |  |
