July 24, 2005 - #15 of 365
Brewer: Theakston (Masham, England)
Beer: Old Peculier
Style: Old Ale
abv: 5.7%
Background: Artificially carbonated bottle from the store.
Appearance: Pours deep red with a small, quickly-dissipating head.
Aroma: Very fruity, mostly banana, with very light floral and vanilla notes.
Flavor: Kind of disappointing. Not much to it, just biscuity English malts and a light hop bitterness. Vanilla in the aftertaste.
Notes: Apparently this was really good until the brewery was purchased by a larger one. Now it’s only slightly better than a typical bland English beer that happens to smell like bananas. I’ll stick to the Olde Suffolk.
Rating: 3.3 out of 5
