James Squire Nine Tales Amber Ale from Malt Shovel Brewery

6/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6
Slightly tangy, mildly sweet, very light bodied. Almost syrupy, more of a sipper. Not such an easy drinker.

James Squire The Chancer Golden Ale from Malt Shovel Brewery
11 years ago
6/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 5 Texture 6 Overall 6
345ml bottle. Pours clear amber with a small head that quickly disappears. Grassy spring nose. Fruity, citric taste, a bit sour even. Still watery in the mouthfeel though. And where is the hops that produced that beautiful aroma? Killed by overcarbonization I assume. What a shame...

On tap. Pours pale yellow. Non-existent aroma, weak taste, but still a pale ale. Could be worse.

345ml bottle into glass. Mild chocolate nose. Ruby red beer with small off-white head. Light spritzy mouthfeel leads to a hint of chocolate in the finish. A lesser cousin of Tooheys Old.

345ml bottle. This is a solid porter that doesn’t lack anything, but it also isn’t outstanding in any way.
