Amber Stone is another ale sold under the Harpers Brewing Co brand.
It’s another in the three part range brewed exclusively by Marstons for Aldi Supermarkets.<>br>
Others in the range are Wild Bills IPA and Golden Crown Ale.
This has a rich amber colour when poured. The drink doesn’t feel overly carbonated and has a short lasting head.
This has a light aroma of caramel and tastes of light hops, ever so slight bitterness. I swear there is some chocolate in there too but that may be my mind playing tricks due to the sweetness that comes through.
Overall I found this to be quite a nice ale. I cannot find anything really to fault it but it also did not amaze. This I have found with supermarket own brands. They either target mainstream or totally one sided fringe markets. For the money this is very good value.
I can see myself having a few of these in the beer fridge by the BBQ ready to rumble.
