Bottle. Mills online shop. Light haze on a medium gold. Nicely dense white foam. Nose has a whiff of brett. White wine dregs. Clean oak. Sweet whisky notes. Soft apple tannins. Taste has juicy and vinous tartness. Light bitterness. Very easy drinking with fine carbonation. Tart and juicy finish. Reminiscent of a boss Girardin.

Bottle. Probably from Beer Ritz. Who cares. Bottle. Beer Zoo. Also tried this at the Cotteridge beano, but it was way too hote to rate a beer of this style fairly, in my opinion. Anyway. Mostly clear, green tinged gold. Fine, white head, kept alive by a stream of fast rising bubbles. Nose has cheese rind. Pithy lemon. Planed wood. Fairly simplistic, yet bright and vibrant. Taste is dry, tart, and lightly acidic. Clean and fresh on the palate. Foamy carbonation. Dry and tangy, lightly acidic finish. Nice one. Plenty more to come with some time on it too, I reckon. We’ve gone down the UT route of adding beers for the sake of it. Can’t wait to tick 10k and then I can get logged out.

So this is already on here as Mills Running Beer. First variant to get bottled in any kind of volume. Doesn’t warrant a separate entry. What do I know though. Just crack on like you do. Copy and pasted rate: Bottle. Beer Zoo. Also tried this at the Cotteridge beano, but it was way too hote to rate a beer of this style fairly, in my opinion. Anyway. Mostly clear, green tinged gold. Fine, white head, kept alive by a stream of fast rising bubbles. Nose has cheese rind. Pithy lemon. Planed wood. Fairly simplistic, yet bright and vibrant. Taste is dry, tart, and lightly acidic.
