Nice aroma. Some funkiness, sorachi? Creamy, bit of funkiness, slightly earthy, brown bread, spice. Good stuff

Light, hoppy, biscuit and light spice malt. Little bit of fruit. Little bitterness. Easy drinking. Doesn't feel like a lager. Aroma is a little herbal, basil or maybe coriander.

That's a small glass and even smaller pizza (salami and chorizo). Saison was good, too.

Tap at Gremlin. Nice, grassy, bit of pineapple, little bitterness, nice enough. Rerate at Grub Nov 16. Quite malty, light caramel, light spice. Hops have decent bitterness, bit of citrus, bit of twigginess. Nice enough and easy drinking. Exactly the same score!

Keyaki. Aroma is grainy. Taste is not so exciting, little grassy hoppiness. Alright. Earthy. Think I missed something as everyone else seemed to like it more than me.

Tap at Gremlin. Aroma is mainly Citra. Touch of citrus but also that Citra twigginess thing that I always talk about. Taste is nice but maybe lacking in excitement. Not much trace of the Sorachi. But it's nice enough.

Tap at Gremlin. Surprisingly refreshing for an imperial lager. Bit of citrus, mainly lemon in the aroma and the taste. Some maltiness lingering behind but not interfering too much. Shady like somehow?!? Bit confused.

Tap at the brewery. Nice Belgian aroma. Bit spicy, yeasty tripel style fruitiness. Taste is good. Malty, light sweetness, candy, candied fruit, berries too, soft and yeasty. Enjoyable and probably not the smack in the face I expected it to be.
