Tasting Notes: Newmans: Last Lion Of Britain

Newmans: Last Lion Of Britain (Wales: ESB: 5% ABV)

Visual: Clear light brown red with a small bubbly head.

Nose: Light treacle lattice, black cherry. Stewed apples. Good dose of malt.

Body: Treacle and apple pie. Cinnamon. Very sweet, blackcherry. Some light coffee at the back.

Finish: Malt, dry dust. Sherry. Coffee and syrup. Slight bitterness and charcoal

Conclusion: Great beer that punches above its weight with a lot going on under the surface. Can be appreciated for its simple sweet front but as you delve deeper you can peel away many tasty layers

This is a good pint for most occasions, simple enough for casual drinking, enough there for appreciating, and whilst not low alcohol, low enough for a session if you don’t go insane.

The epitome of a British bar pint, to keep an eye out for.
