Beer: St Peter's English Ale
Type: Organic Ale
Region: England
Rating: Intermediate
Well, I made German fare tonight, and instead of breaking out German Beer, I went for the English Ale. Go figure. But combined, it made for a very nice meal. Homemade schnitzel, red cabbage...good eating.
Let's talk about St. Peter's, shall we? (and a thank you to Shaun Harkness for bringing me this tasty pint).
The first thing you'll notice is the flask-shaped bottle. In fact, all of their beers have this distinct shape, which makes it truly stand out amongst the rest. But it's the taste that you can't forget. In the case of this beer, it is probably the closest you'll get to a traditional English Ale.
Sharp and bitter at first, it blends quite nicely on it's own or with food, and just keeps on getting better with every sip. A cloudy straw colour, the head is a frothy white with very little odour of what it's hiding underneath, and you'll definitely enjoy the distinct citrus hop finish.
St. Peter's - not just the name of a high school around the corner from my house!
