440 ml can. Pours unclear golden, with a big fluffy stable head. Grassy and floral hops, citrus, sourdough. Dry crisp bitterness, citric sourness. Medium bodied, oily texture, lively carbonated, dry sour finish. Decent Helles, however don’t like the sourness in here.

Blik thuis geprobeerd met BartvG en Hillig en LiekevdV. Het een helder goudgeel bier met een dun schuim. Het heeft een moutige wat zoete geur. De smaak is moutig, licht en wat fruitig.

500ml can. Black with a very thin tan head. Aroma of coffee, vanilla, chocolate. Taste is rich with creamy coffee, roast, vanilla and chocolate. Yes it lacks some body, light for a stout but that makes it supremely drinkable given the rich flavour.

Can from Beer Zoo. Black body with a thin beige head that fades. Faint lacing. Aroma of nuts and chocolate. Flavour of rust, chocolate and plum. Thin body with a watery, slick texture. Soft fizz. A decent beer but it’s lacking in body.

Can. Brownhill & Co, Leeds. Some stupid ratings for this one. If you don’t like lager don’t drink it. Pale, straw gold. Firm white head lasts the course. Nose has crisp, dry malt. Cracked pepper. Lemon rind. Privet leaf. Taste is mostly dry, with a light bready sweetness. Nice kick of grassy bitterness. Clean and refreshing on the palate. Crisp carbonation. Light bitter finish. Great stuff. Could do multiples of this no bother.

22/2/2020. Bottle sample courtesy of danlo, cheers Ed! Pours red brown with a short lasting bubbly off-white head. Aroma of citrus, wood, tart berries and cherries, dried fruits, biscuit with slight shredded marmalade. Light sweetness and medium tartness and a salty edge. Good!
