Keg @ Cellar, Chester [300418]
A3, N5, T6, P3, O11
Blonde, hazy, white rim around glass
Aroma - Sour, no pineapple, light acidic fruit, some earthyness in there
Taste - Sour, soft pineapple, getting more pineapple, but it's that same generic sourness and it's quite boring tbh
Palate - Soft carb, light body, sour and fairly acidic, no alcohol. Finish is dry and sour
Overall - Not in the mood for this after great IPAs and stouts

Zaujimave pivko v craft beer. Druh piva na ktory si zvykam. Vona mi ide viacej do vina ako do pova. Farba taktiez vinova. Chut vyrazne kyslasta.

Clear pale blond colour with thin lacy head. Aroma has the fruity funk of a Berliner Weisse. Flavour is similarly fruity and tart. Rather light bodied. The pineapple makes it interesting.
