Draught @ Black Bear Brixton. Sweetish, slightly stuffy and malty with hints of hay and grass. Goes well with the excellent truffle burger

Keg draught at the Duke of Hammersmith. Light gold, clear with a small white head. Grainy aroma, some corn, some dried grass. Taste is sweet, with noted of caramel and honey. Sticks to the tongue in the sweet finish.an interesting take on the style. I like the beer but may not rush to have another.

Icebock 22 from Pillars Brewery

7.4/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
Keg at Scaredy Cats Cafe, Cardiff. Dark brown and just a tiny bit translucent with a ring of khaki head. Aroma of molasses and salted caramel, boozy dates. Sweet taste, bursting with treacle and date notes leading to a short finish. Body is light for the ABV with carbonation on the soft side. Not a life-changer but I'm always thrilled to welcome a new eisbock into my life.

New Zealand Pilsner from Pillars Brewery

On tap at BrewDog Waterloo, pours a clear pale golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out gentle grassy hops and toasted biscuity malt. Flavour is flat, with toasted biscuity malt, flat hops, and soft earthiness. Flat and poorly hopped, but clean enough.

Hop Lager from Pillars Brewery

330ml bottle: BB October 2023. Drank at home on 17th May 2023. White topping on the clean golden body, no haze. Strange taste and aroma, slightly skunked maybe. Anyway I didn't like the smell or flavour of this brew. A present from my London based brother Matthew, not the first beer from these guys I've struggled with to be honest.

Festbier from Pillars Brewery

3.6/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 3 Flavor 3 Texture 6 Overall 2.5
330ml bottle: BB September 2023. Drank at home on 4th May 2023. Slight haze in the amber body, short lived off-white head. I think it's infected or skunked, as it's not like any Festbier I've had before, sour and bitter, think it's made with Rottenburgers rather than Rottenburger Hops! Had to drain pour it, something I hate doing, luckily my brother Matt gave it to me as a present, so I don't feel cheated. Scored according to how I found it.

Pilsner from Pillars Brewery

330ml bottle: BB November 2023. A gift from my brother Matthew and drank at home on 30th April 2023. Slight have in the golden body, fast fading white head. Almost odourless with a malty leaning, some mild citrus like flavours in the taste; pretty boring really.
