Boak and Bailey's Beer Blog - Pleasant Surprise from Greene King
Visit the Boak and Bailey's Beer Blog site
We didn’t have high hopes for a non-bottle-conditioned Greene King beer in a clear bottle, but Suffolk Springer (6%) is actually very decent.
Our bottle wasn’t skunked (luck of the draw?) and the beer was as dark and luscious as any Belgian dubbel. There was sweet, milky chocolate to start, followed by cherries, dates and Christmas pudding. It was also a touch sour which suggests to us that there’s a slug of something complex in the blend. Turns out we were right — it’s blended with some of their famous 5X old ale.
So, thanks to Bailey’s dad for the tip and the gift!
Goes to show you should never write off any brewery altogether.
Here’s what Des de Moor thought; and a slightly Gothic review at the Bottled Beer Year.
