Vintage Cheddar and Real Ale Crisps (Aldi) [By @SpectreUK]



I've tried a few ale flavoured crisps before, but not one with cheese as an added flavour. I like cheese and I like ale. So I figured; what could go wrong? Described on the bag as a "deliciously tangy combination" of vintage Cheddar and authentic real ale, I could hardly wait to try them. The large thickly cut golden crisps inside the bag had a heavy Cheddar Cheese smell to them with a hint of barley at the end of the odour. Wow! These crunchy crisps definitely had a really cheesy punch to them. If you like cheese on your crisps without too much onion combined this flavour is for you. Mind you, there was a mild hint of onion and an ale-like barley flavour just poking out behind the cheese. The cheese and cheeky ale flavour moved into the aftertaste to leave a sumptuous cheesy beery glow to my tastebuds. It was difficult to share this big bag of crisps out with the others at the lunchtime table, but I was assured there were other bags in the store and that they would pick up some more next time! But bear in mind, they are unfortunately a limited addition.
