Tetley’s English Ale
Carlsberg-Tetley Brewing, Planet Earth - Ale
Friday 2 March 2012 – 4.5%Alc./Vol. 81 / 100
Initial Thoughts
I love true English Ale. So beware the inherent bias in the following phrases. Lovely dark amber fluid, atop which floats the most brilliantly creamy head. Lovely... Lovely.
First Sip
Smoother than merely smooth. The hops are late to arrive, just the slightest hint upfront, with a delightful back palate of gentle bitterness.
Halfway Through
A fine example of smooth english drinkability. One might happily make an afternoon of pouring one or two of these down ones throat with great enthusiasm, were one so inclined.
Bottoms Up
There exists a wonderful subset of English ales which regardless of whether they hail from the midlands, the southeast or the north country are amazingly smooth to drink, this is one such ale. Possibly an evolution in brewing due to a gentleman’s occasional desire to spend several hours at the tavern, pub, or inn. Easy drinkability suits this ale well to the aforementioned task.
