Beer 280 - Bateman's Victory Ale (4 stars out of 5)

	.

Brewed in Wainfleet, Lincolnshire, England.  Bought at ASDA supermarket in Telford and drunk at Mum's house in Wellington, U.K. with a late afternoon tea of ham and cheese sandwiches and crisps.

The web site says: "6.0% ABV.  A pale copper coloured, rewarding beer brewed with pale and crystal malts and hopped with English Goldings and American Liberty hops. The aroma booms with peppery hops and bitter oranges, balanced by fresh bread maltiness. Hops and fruit dominate the palate, while the finish has sappy malt, tart fruit and lingering hop bitterness."

I enjoyed this beer, the description from the copywriters is a bit flowery, but it didn't detract from my enjoyment of the brew, since the beer was nicely balanced and very drinkable.
