Burton Bridge Brewery Olde Expensive Ale - another English ale with a knight on the bottle

Pouring with a massive thick, foamy head this beer is cloudy and copper colored.  The aroma is sweet and tart all at once.  Taste is a bit of sweet, a bit of tart, a bit of malt and a very bitter astringent finish.  The malt and bitter come into more balance as the beer warms.  This is a very good English bitter.  No wonder the king is smiling on the label, his goblet must be full of this stuff.  6.5% ABV.  I give these guys a lot of credit for making a bottle conditioned ale that is not overwhelmed by the taste of the yeast.
