Tasting Notes: Downton: Apple Blossom Ale

Downton: Apple Blossom Ale (England: Golden Ale: 4.2% ABV)

Visual: Pale banana yellow with a medium creamy head.

Nose: Light apple, hops and mild cider. Banana custard and pastries. Slight floral elements.

Body: Light sourness, apple cider. Slight golden syrup. Custard.

Finish: Apples and pear (Not rhyming slang). Dry touch, light hops.

Conclusion: Summer in a glass. Apples, cider, sourness and almost cider like notes. Wonderful easy drinking ale. A fine thirst quencher. This would go wonderful to drink in the countryside, in a patch of shade near a working cider press.

A beer set just for a specific time, but works very well for that.
