Bottle. Bier Huis, Ossett. Cloudy pale gold. Noisy suds of white surprisingly stay the course. Nose has nicely juicy Citra. Brioche malts. Belgian yeast notes. Taste has a bready sweetness. Pretty juicy bitterness. Smooth on the palate. Foamy carbonation. Nice balance of sweet and bitter to finish.

Bottle. Bier Huis, Ossett. Light haze on a dark amber brown. Thick, glossy topped egg white head. Nose has some minty notes. Touch of pine. Some slightly eggy off notes, too. Taste is malty sweet, with a robust, herbal, piny bitterness. Medium body. A little oily. High-ish carbonation. Lingering bitterness to finish. Not quite right, I reckon.

Tap. Hop City. It’s probably yellow and murky. Or it might be a reddy colour. Or orange. Probably got a dense, white head. It’ll smell fruity and tropical. Maybe it’s fruity and tart. Could be bretty. Who cares? Dave turned up, unexpectedly. Jeff and all that lot. I’d have given a shit at one time, but when RBers shit themselves over getting an AB InBev fucking T-shirt I can’t be fucking bothered anymore.
