GRUUT DARK AMBER     

Amber ale from Gentse Stadsbrouwerij, a new version of the original Amber, so a new brew
for me too. ABV of 6.0%. A massive improvement on the original brew!

Pours a deep ruby burgundy, with a bubbly frothy head. Some lacing.

Malty, hoppy, airy, herbal floral aroma.
It's surprisingly full bodied, with a fizzy yet light mouthfeel, with enough depth of
flavour and complexity with hops, malts, florals, caramel, herbals, cola, milk chocolate,
cocoa powder, Ovaltine, chocolate orange, plum, greengage and jam. Howver, it just has
the profile and mouthfeel of a summer beer, in other words a Saison. Indeed it is nice
and refreshing.

Cheers,

Viv
