As tasted in Montreal tonight. Dryish, caramel tones, snappy finish.
Tadcaster-brewed, 4.7 per cent abv.
I recall it in London, many years ago now, being sweeter and richer, but memory can play tricks, so who knows at this juncture.
I think the last time I had it in Britain was in Camden Lock, a pub that featured bands in the Chicago blues style.
Those big pint bottles.
That was perhaps 30 years ago!
I order it to remind me of those times. It went great certainly with Montreal smoked meat and the incomparable Montreal french fries.
I know that there’s been complaints about Newcastle recently based, I think, on it being brewed in the US for North American consumption, if I recall correctly.
I haven’t noticed any difference. It’s one of my favorites.
Thanks, yes the one sold in America is brewed in the country, I think at Lagunitas. Different recipe IIRC. Have not tried that one.
