Description
A bunch of friends who started brewing NOLO beers during the 1st lockdown. After a fairly successful first launch we went a bit rogue and made about 9 beers in 3 months, people kept wanting more so, we kept making them. We didn't quite intend to start a company and carry on after lockdown ended, but here we are.

Can from Sheffield Tap. Cloudy orange yellow color, white edge head. Big apricot aroma. Taste is fresh apricot pulp, mild sweetness, no real sourness to speak of. Tasty enough but left me wanting more sournees

Can at Spicy Days. Hazy dull yellow body, lasting big thick head. Odd sweet aroma, malty, oxidation, bready technically but not pleasant. Mild sweetish taste, almost juicy, no hops, some vague flowers though. No bitterness. Not Bohemian, not a pils, not even an alcohol-free fascimile of one. Okay n/a though.

Can thanks to my bro. It pours hazy slime green with next to head. The aroma is sweet, tangy, artificial fruitage, akin to Gatorade, Powerade & slush puppies, blue raspberry, kiwi fruit, fizzy candy, green ice pole, guava and melon. The taste is is crisp, sweet, tangy, fizzy candy, sugary soft drinks, artificial tropical fruits, green ice poles, blue raspberry, tangy orangey citrus, gummy bears and more sugar with a fizzy candy finish. Light body and fizzy, prickly carbonation. As a fan of sour candy (and beer), this is a disappointment. Far too sweet and not sour enough. Fun idea, but unfortunately it has sugar level only for the pastry boiiis.

Can at Colmore. Pretty close to black color, beige head. Aroma of dark Hershey's syrup. Taste is sweet dark chocolate. Not bad. Sweet but not a sugar bomb.

Can direct from Mash gang. It pours hazy golden - yellow with a small white head. The aroma is fresh, green, spicy, tropical fruits, mango salsa, apricot, peach, twist of citrus and some floury bread. The taste is clean and mellow initially, plenty of orangey citrus, tangerine, fairly sweet, peach, apricot, mango salsa, touch green, nip of spice and marmalade with a drying finish. Light body and fine, prickly carbonation. I personally prefer regular chug, but this is still nice.

440ml can. Pours a very dark reddy brown, almost black, small tan head. Aroma of chocolate and sweet cherries. Taste is sweet, chocolate, cherry juice, vanilla, but never cloying. I hesitate to say it's thick but the body on this *is* genuinely big for an AF beer, and it certainly has the creamy smoothness you'd expect from a proper pastry stout. Sensational effort. Easily the best AF beer I've had so far.

Review based on the BJCP2015 guidelines (style 18B - Low alcohol). Can 44 cl - Batch unknown (BBF: Feb 2023). AROMA: medium-high hop aroma with ripe tropical fruit notes (apricot, ripe pineapple). medium-low neutral malt background. APPEARANCE: gold color and clear. medium-low off-white head with medium-low retention. TASTE: initial medium-low hop notes (pine, slight grapefruit). medium-low to low neutral malt background. medium-high bitterness with a semi-dry to dry finish. MOUTHFEEL: medium-low body with medium carbonation. OVERALL: an ok pale ale with a very interesting aroma but with underwhelming flavour (maybe because its aproaching its best before date).
