Etter et par innledende runder med fat-og boksøl er jeg nå i gang med å gå planken Drink Local (6x12cl) på Beerhouse on Long, Cape Town feb-20: klar gylden med ok skum. Lyse tropiske frukter og litt kokos i en slank kropp med mild, fruktig bitterhet. Neither here nor there.

330mL can, pours a clear copper with a small off-white head. Aroma brings out faint coffee upfront, with bready malt and a hint of caramel. Flavour is pretty light, with gentle coffee, earthy notes, and sweet bready caramel. Tastes like a faint coffee-tinged creamer. It's alright.

Amber colour, but not much head. Sort of an odd aroma, some fruitiness and phenols. Thin body, maybe a bit sweet, with a touch of coffee. Dunno, just kind of okay.

(Bottle, 0.33 l, thanks brunnsbe, 20190602) The beer poured golden and clear. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had fruitiness and spiciness. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were fruitiness, spiciness, malts, coconut, lightly sourness and bitterness. Aftertaste was spicy, malty and bitter. A surprising spicy brew that was quite tasty.

Clear golden, small white head. Malty aroma, odd and slightly floral hops. Malty flavour, hoppy bitterness. Light soicy touch in the finish, lasting bitterness. Ok.
