Shepherd Neame's 1698

Appearance

Auburn with lasting off white head

Aroma

Marzipan with hops and a faint hint of butterscotch

Taste

Chewy malt at first with butterscotch and just as think it may get to sweet the hops come in to balance with a touch of peppercorns. The finish is surprisingly dry with light toasted grain the bitter hint of pepper hops and a bit of tangy citrus.

Overall

This is beer is a really good pint well balanced and subtle.

8.5/10
