Brewery: Rebellion
Style: Bitter
ABV: 4.5%
Location: Marlow Bottom, Buckinghamshire
Aroma: Grassy, floral, some hoppiness coming through and a touch of berry fruits.
Colour: Deep red with a two finger tan coloured head.
Taste: A noticeable bitterness immediately assaults the senses; a strong malty quality comes through in the background with hints of fruit and caramel. The use of British and American hops gives it a tangy and hoppy flavour profile, whilst the mouthfeel is creamy and smooth, it fortunately lacks the gassiness that afflicts most bottled beers.
Verdict: A rather quaffable beer that is full is flavour, the elements are deftly balanced, the bitterness from the hops dovetails nicely with the roasted and malty qualities coming through from the combination of pale and roasted crystal malt. The smooth mouthfeel adds to the drinking experience, although a slight residual biscuity dryness does detract from the quality.
Rating: 8/10
