1001 BEERS: #24. TIMOTHY TAYLOR'S LANDLORD





 

# 24: TIMOTHY TAYLOR'S LANDLORD

Timothy Taylor - England
4.1% ABV - Amber

E: Pale orangey amber colour, with a foamy head, not much retention.
N: Floral, with citrus notes on the nose, there is a subtle woody and earthy aroma, which would come from the fuggles and styrian hops.
P: A mild sweet maltiness which is a little nutty, balanced well with hop bitterness which has elements of fruit and earthy characteristics
M: It has a smooth texture a little creamy with a gentle carbonation.

Other comments: Being four-time champion of beer happens for a reason, and Timothy Taylor's Landlord offers the drinker a wonderful balance of fruit hop bitterness with quality malt sweetness.  It uses first class malts from the the UK and this shows in what can be inly described as an institutional ale.

Food Pairings: Pair this with a light cheddar, nothing too overpowering, but enough bite to allow the sweetness of the cheese compliment the 100% malt in the beer and allow the hop bitterness to cut through the residual fats.

SCORE: 3.2/5
