Cask at Pigs Ear 2014 - London. Pours cloudy gold with a creamy-frothy white head. Lots of ripe, rotting fruits in the aroma, some bread and berries. Medium to big sweet flavor, somewhat yeasty, with notes of grapes and doughy bread. Medium bodied with fine carbonation; good condition. Somewhat warming on the finish with marmalade, ripe citrus, pale bread, berries, orange juice. Good one.

Tap. Brewdog, Sheffield. Hazy, dark pink. Thin, lasting, white head. Blackcurrant juice. Very woody. Grassy hop. Peachy hop. A bit vinous. Some alcohol. Taste is fruity sweet, turning vine fruit dry. A little woody bitterness at the end. Full, but fresh palate. Finishes a little boozy. Fruity sweet. Light dry. Utterly delicious, and stupid easy to drink. The Monkey Boys done good (again).

Gravity dispense at Pigs Ear ’14, day 1, 02/12/14. Murky orange amber with a decent off white covering. Nose is soured dark fruit, spice, acidic vibes, glue, tarte cherry skins. Taste comprises sweet’n’sour licks, spice, tangy red berries. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, light booze in a sticky and sweet close. Ok if a little leftfield and unbalanced!

Cask gravity at Pig’s Ear 2014. It pours hazy amber with a small white head. The nose is earthy, ripe berry, spice, doughy, grape must, wood and light fruity tartness. The taste is fruity tartness upfront, doughy, some acidity, blackcurrant skin, berry yoghurt, light spice, booze, grassy, sherbet, white grape and hay with a dry finish. Medium-full body, moderate carbonation and oily mouth-feel. Unusual for sure, but it sort of works. Fun to drink for sure.

Pigs Ear. Cask. Hazy amber beer, untidy pale cream colour head. Palate is comparatively light and has mild fine carbonation. Light sourness. Nice zippy cherry and blackberry, little blackcurrant. Trace of acid. Finishes crisp. Not sure about it’s Old Ale status but this is tasty and drinkable.
