28/10/2025. Cask at Norwich Beer Festival (Waterfront). Hazy pour. Aroma is dank, hoppy, overripe tropical and stone fruits, quite musty. Quite sweet, mild bitterness. More mustiness. Not a fan of this.

Pours a hazy gold colour with a small frothy white head. Aroma is grassy and herbal hops. A moderately sweet and bitter taste, cereal, grass and herbal hop flavours with a moderately bitter herbal hop finish.

Clear gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, fairly dry, decent fine carbonation. Thin malts, slightly dry, some cereal. The Rakau feels sparsely used to me, not getting that earthy filth I was expecting. Does have some floral bitterish thin dried fruits. Dry thin finish. Not doing anything for me but avoids offence as well.

Pours very clear blonde. Foam fades instantly. Smell is weak, very restrained hoppy notes. Bit heavy on the caramel, as far as something can actually be heavy, in a scent that is this mild. Taste is sharp, fleshy almost ( yet not smokey, nor fruity ) , but feels strangely… Thick ? Not in terms of high gravity though, just the absent of freshness, crispyness, without actually being a negative. Lower bitterness. Very mild carbonation that feels very arteficial ( starting relatively high, but than completely fading to zero before swalowing ) it's very interesting for sure. perhaps the strange element in here comes from the rakou hops, since those are new to me. Far to easy to drink. Bit strange on the carbonation, and after a few seconds, this beer looks like filtered apple juice, but hey, it's not bad at all.
