Daleside Old Leg Over, Yorkshire, $8.49-$8.99 /500ml
A good session beer in the English brown ale style, with a full reddish honey colour and aromas of caramel, toffee and malt, some bready notes and mild hoppiness. It tastes soft and gentle, possibly lightly carbonated, with lots of malty, toffee flavours and very mild bitterness. (4.1 per cent alcohol; crown seal.)
