Rouge Ales Younger's Special Bitter
Appearance: Pours from the 22oz bomber into my pint glass with a dark golden amber coloration, clear, some effervescence, and a thick foamy white head that leaves tons of lacing. Excellent presentation, nearly perfect for style. 4.5/5
Smell: Strong hop presence, "mushy" as opposed to crisp. Strong notes of apples buried underneath, something like an apple cider? Overall aroma is sweet, malty, slightly cloying. 4.0/5
Taste: Strongly hoppy upfront, sweet in the middle, with a dry backend. Slight notes of citrus. Overall uncomplex but enjoyable. 4.0/5
Mouthfeel: Thin, but the hops give the tongue a bit of a workout. 3.5/5
Drinkability: This is a good-quality example of an English Bitter, not necessarily a great style, but a really decent beer for daily drinking. The price tag makes it a bit steep, though. 3.5/5
Overall: 4.0/5
