Bottle from Bottledog drunk on a train. Cloudy dark brown lasting thick dark beige head. So I have bfeen to Dusseldorf twice and know my way around an Alt. And this is decent on first impressions. Fresh brown malt on the aroma. Spicy hop on the finish. It’s got chocolate biscuit and some hop. Pretty good recreation of the style. Tasty. No faults just good beer. I liked it.

Clear gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light and semi dry and mildly crisp. Light clean malts bring modest sweetness. Hops are tangy orange, lesser marmalade and a touch of lemon. Light dry finish. Nicely balanced and drinkable if a tad dry.

Cock Tavern. Keg. Hazy gold beer, small white head. Palate starts smooth but it has a fine minerally crispness developing. Light clean malts, semi dry. Touches of floralness and and a whisper of pear ester. Touch of orange before bubblegum esters kick in. Light crispy finish. Not bad. But I am already wondering how these conservative German style beers are going to fit in to the ever growing and vibrant London craft scene.

Craft Clerkenwell. Keg. Hazy deep amber beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light and a little crisp. Tangy malts with tangy caramel. Light floralness and dried fruits. Light semi dry finish. Clean and drinkable but the style is never going to wow me.

Keg at Craft Clerko. It pours hazy orange with a small white head. The nose is soft, apricot, orange peel, peach, light earth and straw. The taste is soft, clean, lightly bitter, minerals, straw, grapefruit peel and waxy lemon with a dry finish. Light-medium body and fine carbonation. It won’t blow your socks off, but it is soft, clean and rather drinkable. Decent.
