A bottle celebrating American independence with a hoppy ale brewed with US liberty hops. Why Bateman's are celebrating US independence I'm not sure or is made clear.This had a small bubbly white head, good golden colour.
Aroma to me was a little metallic and piney, a little of warm orange.
Its taste is backed up by a reasonable solid medium body and good carbonation.
The malts seem quite sweet, but there is very little in the way of hops that are noticable apart from an unpleasant aftertaste of resin. There seems to be a faint spice element, and a little citrus but not a lot. For me an average beer.
Really not sure on the label either, what's with the portly cheerleader??
Average or not, I need to be checking out Aldi more often it seems.
ReplyDeletethey are not as good as they used to be mind you, their german/european beers used to be a much better selection, not anymore.
