La Téne

Brewery: The Celt Experience
Supplier: Beer52

One of the core range from The Celt Experience, this is their dry hopped English bitter. It is named after a sight on the North Side of Lake Neuchatel, Switzerland - where "belief and spirit were born". I served this slightly chilled.
Appearance: A clear golden colour with a thick white head that dissipates quickly leaving only a trace. 
Aroma: Huge amounts of sweet candied peaches with a funky note at the back. 
Flavour: Like the nose there is the peachy funk, with a nice underlying malt base. 
Body: A medium body with a perfect underlying base
Aftertaste: The back is a mainly cereal dominated with a waxy bitterness. 

Overall: Therefore this gets a rating of 6, a great beer for a low alcohol one, nice and a little more unique. However the aftertaste isn't the best.

Price Range:  Another from the box 8 for £14 - so £1.75 for a 500ml bottle; a very good price, and I would get it again to drink during a heavier night, but not exclusively.

Food Pairings: A more complex sandwich, such as a sour cream, smoked salmon, dill, and dill pickle sandwich on rye.
