I love a fine English ale and this one was a 'gift' or 'donation' to my cause by my good friend Dan. The product is Wells Bombardier English Premium Ale and I don't think it would be too difficult to find outside of Ontario. It weighs in with a hefty 500ml bottle and 5.2% alc, so leave the skirt and purse at home.
Pouring this malt beverage shows a dark ruby red colour and an unmistakable yet not overpowering malty nose. The one thing that is very noticeable is how consistent and long-lasting the head is, which is important to allow you to enjoy the aroma. In fact, if you are trying any of the beers that I list, please do the beer a good service and ALWAYS use the appropriate glass. Save the 'out of the bottle or can' stuff for the more mass-produced varieties.
The taste combines toasted malt, caramel, and a light spiciness that is easy to savour.
If you've thought about moving from a novice-type beer to dabble into a fine English Ale, this one is a very good introduction and will leave few disappointed.
