Umbel Traditional Ale 500ml, 3.8% - England


Let's try this English Brown Ale..

Poured darkish amber color, almost no head.

Very rich aroma here.. I get citrus, hops, spices, flowers, sweetness.. Very delightful smell!

I took the first sip and whoah! What an amazing blend of flavors. I mean honestly, I didn't expect anything from this ale. I taste citrus (lot's of it), spices, some pepper, coriander, hoppy bitterness. The taste has this very perfumy touch to it, even some soap.

I was skeptical at first that the ABV is low, but this rich and weird blend of flavors balance each other out.

To be honest, I didn't enjoy this beer a lot, but it was quite fun trying something completely new and unusual.
