Alright, I'm finally going back in time to review some of the beers that I haven't put on my blog yet. I'm still catching up from back in late August, and probably have a solid 20 to go, but I'll ultimately get there! Morland Hen's Tooth was purchased at my local Lowes Foods. It stood out as a single and I decided to snag it. The beer advertises itself as bottle conditioned, so it's not filtered. I have some tasting notes, so here goes..!
The beer poured a cloudy amber color, with the cloudiness probably there because of the lack of filtration. I was able to get a two finger head, with moderate retention, that settled into some beer film at the top. Aromas were pretty neutral. Some sweet aromas from the malt, maybe some caramel, but very aroma neutral.
The taste was similar to the aroma. Sweet and bready, some caramel notes. Had a slightly bitter finish that didn't sit all that well with me. Moderate carbonation helped the beer finish better. Overall, I found the beer to be okay to drink, but nothing that gets me excited. The unfiltered beer took a little bit of getting used to, but I'm glad that I had the chance to try a beer this way.
Grade: C
Price Paid: $3.50 (16.9 oz bottle)
