6.8/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7
Pour is a clear straw yellow with a large white head. Aroma is everything you would expect, dry cracker and bready malt with some grassy hop. Flavor is more of the dry cracker like malt and the finish is a nice herbal hop. Maybe a bit thicker and heavier than some pilsners but this still has everything you are looking for. Very spot on and tasty pils.

750ml bottle courtesy of gregwilsonstl, pours with a nearly clear copper body that supports a light tan head of foam. The aroma offers up sweetened tangelo and clementine flowing into a blend of floral hops and malts. The taste delivers pleasing hoppy layers of citrus juiciness and bitterness with pineapple and mango helping to add more depth. To midway it picks up more bitterness mixed with sweet malts and then some floral hops. This has tasty depth and balance. Pretty solid.

750ml bottle courtesy of gregwilsonstl, pours with a nearly clear copper body that has thin gold hues and supports a light tan head of foam. The aroma offers up pink grapefruit, pineapple, candied lime and a resiny hop note blended with softly bready malts. The taste starts with pineapple and candied lime hops rolling into a resiny lime to bitter floral hop note. To midway it picks up malt sweetened fruity hops as well as persistent hop bitterness. Interesting as the lime and floral and tropical fruit notes try hard to pull this together and they nearly make it. Cool brew with a fairly unique hop profile.

American sour from a 75 cl bottle served at Tim Webb’s masterclass during Carnivale Brettanomyces. Light gushing upon opening, resulting in a coarse, off-white head dissolving due to badly cleaned tasting glass; colour is a hazy, peachy straw blonde. Aroma is very estery and tart and immediately reminds of the Brettanomyces lambicus this is brewed with; lemon zest, starfruit, dry white wine, old sherry, grapefruit peel, field flowers, wet leather, red apple. Fresh lemony acidity in the onset, unripe grapes and sour berries but still relatively soft and gentle in comparison with many Belgian lambics, somewhat spritzy carbo, very lightly malty underneath but not turning sweetish - instead there is a good basic wheat sourishness in the lead. Finishes quite complex, with drying tartness of course, lemony and refined and a bit puckering, horseblanket Brett flavours and some powdery yeastiness. Nice sour ale if you’re into lambics, elegant, but more a kind of compromise between a farmhouse ale and a lambic than an actual lambic beer. Still, recommended for the sour lovers.

750mL bottle, pours a cloudy yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out light funk with a medium tart stone fruit presence. Flavour brings out tart peachy funk all throughout. Finishes dry. Lacking complexity, but still very pleasant all round. Nice one.
