Lady of the Lake Real Ale (Glastonbury Brewing Co) By @SpectreUK

Lady of the Lake Real Ale


I have always loved Sword and Sorcerer books and movies. I especially love the Arthurian Legend of Excalibur, Merlin, King Arthur, and his Knights of the Round Table. The magic of the Lady of the Lake both mends Excalibur and is destined to present the sword of legend to a new king. So, this enchanting beer from Glastonbury Ales should be quite a treat with my steak and chips tonight.

At 4.2% in volume, caramel malts have been promised on the bottle with vanilla creaminess and fruitiness from the hops. A smooth creamy beer to represent the beauty of the Lady of the Lake. On opening the bottle there was autumnal fruitiness and a sweet caramel malt smell, with a touch of vanilla at the back of the aroma.

On pouring this deep brown beer there was indeed fruitiness from the mild hops, joined with creaminess from vanilla, followed closely by the sweetness of caramel malt into the aftertaste. This was a gorgeous ale, which washed my steak and chips down perfectly. I fancy digging out some of my old Sword and Sorcerer movies now.
