On tap at Hoppy Days. As Parallelo Brett Farmhouse Ale. Hazy pale golden colour, white head. Aroma of a Belgian Wit, quite spicy, sweet, wheat, some sweet lemon, didn’t get any kiwi. Flavour is also very Belgian Wit-like, spicy and sweet, no Brett, no kiwi. Light bodied. It’s OK, but didn’t deliver what was promised.

On tap at Hoppy Days. Hazy golden colour, white head. Aroma of wheat, light buttery, spicy, hint of citrus. Flavour is likewise, quite boring and dull. Light bodied.

On tap at Hoppy Days. Hazy golden orange colour, white head. Aroma is nice and hoppy, citrus, some orange, passion fruit, zest. Flavour is fresh and hoppy, lots of citrus, some pine, grass, hint of caramel, firm bitter finish. Light bodied. Good.

Keg at CBC Clerko - London. Pours clear, dark brown with a creamy mocha head. Lots of charred malts in the nose, burnt cereal, coffee grounds, milk chocolate. Medium to heavy sweet flavor with good boozy oomph, lots of burnt wood and bittersweet chocolate, some earthy bitterness, leather, defied fruits. Medium to full bodied with average carbonation. Lightly warming on the finish, pretty well balanced, with further burnt and drying wood, bitter cocoa, earth, old leather. Not bad overall. Pretty drinkable gear.

Craft Clerkenwell. Keg. Opaque black - brown beer, small pale tan head. Palate is airy, smooth and semi dry. Good fine carbonation. Smooth dark malts. A light barrel aged woody sweetness vibe here but the pumpclip says nothing about it being fhe barrel aged version. Trace of cocoa. Mild dark fruits. Some malt cream before a fairly dry finish. Light for it’s abv and quite tasty.

Craft Clerkenwell. Keg. Lightly hazy gold beer, untidy halo white head. Palate is smooth but the carbonation is low. Somewhat stodgy wheaty malts. Ripe orange fruits. Light bubblegum ester. Light finish. Really not doing anything for me

Craft Clerkenwell. Keg. Hazy amber beer with a small pale cream colour head. Palate is smooth and light, semi dry with modest fine carbonation. Mildly tangy caramel malts, trace of cream. Mellow piney hops that also bring mild but very ripe orange. Light dry finish. Modest bitter linger. Not bad.

Craft Clerkenwell. Keg. Crystal clear red - amber beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light, smooth and semi dry. Decent fine carbonation. The malts have a very light roast character and a touch of unsweet dark chocolate. Light malt cream and caramel. Trace of wood. Well buried esters. Hops start with mildly spicy pine and move through a nice juicy orange, fresh peel and marmalade. A nice touchnof cherry before a light finish. Nicely done. A reasonably well hopped alt with lots going on. Might furrow brows in Dusseldorf but my brow is unlined.

Craft Clerkenwell. Keg. A sample thanks to the Barman. Light haze on this deep gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light and dry, medium fine carbonation. Lactose laden pale malts. Bubblegum esters. Trace of spice. Light dry finish. Black IPA? Never in a month of Sundays! No idea what this is really supposed to be but it’s not good and my gratitude to the barman who saved me from actually spending on this.
