This was another gift, this time from my girlfriend’s
parents for Christmas. They bought me three Mayfields bottles amongst some
other bits and pieces. I wasn’t particularly impressed with the first one I
tried, Auntie Myrtle’s (although I posted it I’ve not got around to adding any
notes as yet). This one however was pretty good. It pours a clear amber with
very little head. The aroma is lovely, floral with spruce, it smells amazing.
The body is pretty light thin and the flavour is distinctly citrus yet not
overpowering with a distinctly bitter finish. Whilst some might consider the lightness
of this offensive it was suited to my tastes and I enjoyed the way the hops
were balanced. In the face of super-hoppy beers this is a nice sessionable
option that could also introduce new drinkers to hop flavours without putting
them off for good. Thumbs up.
