Sunshine Brewery's Reserve Ale is a captivating English Strong Ale that delights the senses. This beer boasts a hazy golden-amber hue, topped with a thick, creamy off-white head that leaves a delicate lace on the glass. The aroma is intensely hoppy, with notes of tropical fruits like mango, pineapple, and passionfruit, along with hints of pine and grapefruit. Underlying aromas of caramel, toffee, and biscuit malt add depth and complexity to the experience. On the palate, the Reserve Ale is full-bodied and malty, with a balanced sweetness and bitterness. Initial flavors of caramel and butterscotch give way to a wave of citrusy hops, creating a harmonious balance. Hints of earthy spice, black tea, and roasted nuts linger on the finish, which is crisp and refreshing with a subtle touch of toffee and malt.
