Brewed for Aldi by Twickenham Brewery this is a lovely deep amber coloured ale with a small, tight beige head. There might not be much of a head but it stays really tight and laces the glass.
It has a bit of a strange aroma; it's definitely malty but it almost has a hint of sour cherries mixed in with the underlying aroma of citrus and hops. I found the flavour equally odd; roasted malt and caramel with a bitter citrus and spicy rye aftertaste. The whole effect is quite understated really and I felt like I had to hunt for the flavours. It's also quite harshly carbonated with a thin body and feels a little oily on the tongue.
This is a beer that looks a lot better than it tastes. I didn't like the lingering aftertaste of citrus and rye and felt like I needed to brush my teeth in between sips. Unfortunately, Ale not Be Seeing You again.
