Shieldmaiden – Beersmiths

Shieldmaiden by Beersmiths. Double IPA, 8.5% ABV.

Hazy dark bronze colour, pours a small head.
Aromas of dried apricots, syrup, butterscotch and herbs.
Flavours of dried figs, butterscotch, bread, syrup and herbs.
Pretty full mouthfeel, distinct and pronounced bitterness and just a bit of sweetness. Packs a punch but might lack a little bit of finesse. 3.5 out of 5.
