There is something about a 500ml bottle which i find so attractive..... i guess its the fact that there is a lot of beer in it..... These English 'pub style' beers always come in the big bottles (like Ruddles county ale, anyone know where i can get one?) I think the reason for the big bottle is the fact that it always takes i while for you to get used to the taste. This London Pale from Meantime (best modern brewery in the world) starts off pretty aggressively. It's 5.4%. Its an ugly brown amber colour and it tastes very carbonic. It takes a while for the thing to settle down, and release some wonderful flavours. Its got some stewy fruit, but not in a creamy Belgian sort of way, more a thin, burnt yeasty kind of way, tasty but a bit serious for me.
It really took me a while to get into this beer and it wasn't until i had the last sip that i got the hang of it.
Meantime don't have any tasting notes on their web site for this beer.
