Supplier: Work
So this one I got free from my work as the JHI worked together with Barney's Beers in this little experiment. For this beer about 40% of the sugars come from Fava beans, with the malt providing the enzymes, and then lots of hops to make it an IPA style. I served this chilled.
Appearance: Gold with a slight amber tints, there is a slight white head that thins to a thin film.
Aroma: Malty with a little apricot hop, there is also some corn notes underlying.
Flavour: A slight hop resin note in the front leading to a sweet malty note like barley sweets.
Body: Quite a decent, with a nice full mouthfeel, especially for such little malt.
Aftertaste: A nice subtle lingering of the flavours that settle into the mouth nicely.
Overall: Therefore this gets a rating of 6, quite a simple beer more like a pale ale with a nice simple hoppy note.
Price Range: Free, don't know what it usually costs, quite a nice beer and I would pay a couple of pounds for it.
Food Pairings: Most pub grub, I would particularly recommend a slightly salty steak & ale pie.
