Durham Signature Ale

Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 6 | Overall: 6

This is the only beer I’ve seen from Durham in bottles. A light copper colour, clear, with a thin white head. Aroma is earthy hops, cereal malt, and yeast. Flavour is a nice balance between the malty sweetness and the hoppy bitterness but the feeling is that something is missing, it doesn’t hit you like it should.

Pours a nice size frothy beige head and has a amber/copper appearance. Aromas of toasted and nutty malts, earthy hops. Flavours are mainly earthy and resin hops, nuts, toasty and sweet bready malts. Somewhat of a bitter mouthfeel that lingers, mostly in the finish. Lively carbonation. Creamy mouthfeel as well. Not bad.

The beer pours a translucent copper colour with a white head that laces well. The aroma was fruit notes, caramel, herbal hops and grains. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is citrus rind, some caramel, and grass. Not bad.

Single bottle from the LCBO. Pours a clean amber colour, deeper than average with a frothy warm cap, great retention and thick-creamy lacing. Hoppy nose with the grass, over cereal grains, butterscotch and orange notes. The taste is similar with the sweetness of caramel and the decent bitterness from the hop. A grainy background. Seems like an alright British-style session brew, but their seems to be these hints of adjuncts (plastic, sourness) messing things up.

A most interesting, well crafted and well thought out beer. An excellent beer to call your 'signature'! Pours moderate head a literally orange colour. Aroma is rather striking. I'm still alittle unfamiliar with my hop genres, but I can detect the citruisy, grapefruit like hop and also spicy, Belgian styles. A very good balanced with a good result. A medium mouthfeel. Not complex but slightly different.

Bottled: Pour reveals a golden hued ale with an almost non existant head that goes to a stick lace....very moderate carbonation( which is welcome in milder subtle beers). Aromas some grassy hops over sweet fruity notes. Starts mellow and smooth wher the draft like mouthfeel has the balance weighted to the spicy hops then a long finish where the wet citrus gives way to an increasing bready malt taste which leaves a light biscuity after taste. A very mild and mellow draft style ale. I would recommend to any cask ale fancier.
