Medium brown color. Excellent coffee and roasted malts but sweeter than normal.

Light golden color. Slightly hazy. Buscuit, melon, citrus notes. But not that clean. Modestly dry but the body ain’t supe tight.

Slightly hazy deep golden color. Soft hoppy nose of white peaches and citrus notes. Slightly astringent palate, modestly bitter soft carbonation but honestly this didn’t do a ton for me

Black Tide x Nude Kamoshita Rest Grisette Saison 4.5%

Pale gold with thick eggshell white foam and a nice white pepper slightly tangy aroma. Light bodied with a bit of lemon notes this is a nice brew for a beautifully mild spring day.

This week’s Tuesday Tasting is just one beer as I’ve been pretty busy… it’s a triple collaboration which is pretty interesting and it’s a big barley wine which should warm me up in this cold winter night! Black Tide x Beer Brain x Shiokaze Kamoshika Highway Barleywine 12% Nice orange gold pour with thick rocky light beige foam and a malty hoppy aroma. I get candied oranges, caramel and piney notes. Full bodied with a smooth mouthfeel and a pleasing warmth. It’s got some heat but more as it spreads from your stomach rather than in terms of flavor. The taste gives you nice caramel notes, a balancing bitterness that inches it towards a US barley wine but I feel it’s kind of hovering on the edge… nice stuff.

Quite smooth and slick black ipa. Maybe would have preferred something a bit more spiky.

Can. Can't see/ read a date (but it's a region tick). Almost clear amber with a loose cm of white head. Pine wood, citrus and biscuit aroma with some peach. Full bodied. Sweet with pine and citrus oozing from caramel biscuit before bitterness that struggles though. Hints of stone and tropical fruit that are not obscured by the finish.

Nice fruity. Lager is kind of hidden again as it seems to be with Black Tide lagers. But it’s pleasant.

7.5

Decent saltiness, light fruitiness. But pretty nice. A good fruit choice for a gose

6.5

Kind of like the last one. A bit of a bland NE thing which is ok but which isn’t exactly exciting.
