James Squire Hop Thief 7 Galaxy & Mosaic Hops from Malt Shovel Brewery
11 years ago
7.1/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 8 Texture 6 Overall 7.5
From a 345ml bottle on 27/7/2015. Pours a dark golden, not far off amber with a medium head. The nose is sweet and fruity, with some floral and spicy notes. Flavour wise, you get sweet biscuity malt, a bit of caramel, sweet orange and peach, some nuttiness, and some moderate hops which linger slightly. The texture is a touch creamy and the carbonation average to lively. A solid, enjoyable APA, similar in quality to number 6.

James Squire The Constable Copper Ale from Malt Shovel Brewery

5.9/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 5 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 5.5
Nice looking pour from the tap at the Generous Squire. After that, its a rather pedestrian bitter, and kind of bland. Have my tastes been dulled by NW hops? Just not getting anything out of this brew.
