Organic English Ale -- St. Peter's Brewery (St. Peter's Hall, Suffolk, England)

I saw this at a restaurant in Milwaukee and had to sample it.  Smooth, low-key, fairly easy-drinking. Certified organic hops and barley is a plus, as is the gorgeous green glass flask (which I unfortunately neglected to photograph...).

Characteristics: Light gold and slightly cloudy, light-to-medium carbonation, light body, subtle nutty and oakey flavors, with a warm, round, and slightly bitter finish. 

Minor gripes:  The flavors were so subtle that garlicky food completely overpowered it.  Also, the body was so thin that it was hard to hold the beer in my mouth long enough to investigate some of the flavors.

Bottom Line:  Did I use the word "light" enough times in this review?  Certainly worth sampling, but not quite ready to be a regular part of my rotation (assuming I could find it in DC).

Rating: 5 / 10
