Top notch english strong. Round malty, clean and strong. Not astringent. Beer temple (3.8 may 2022) Again at beer temple a 2019 version. I think it just had bad days in the basement here and became caramel and thin

1.50$ can purchased from total wine in cary. First taste is somewhat hoppy IPA and after it sits for a while in the pie hole, it gets a little bit of this astringent sharp bitter bite to it. Fer sher this beer is a little more orange and less brown than most domestic red ales or irish reds. Nice head tho. Creamy and shit. In the middle it gets a little more difficult to drink, turns to stronger boozy stuff. Oh, almost becomes annoying near the finish. Olfactory is a somewhat interesting malty higher alky volatile nose. There you have it, ending is not pleasant from a lager lover's point of view. Just go ask anybody on webster street, they'll tell you about a lack of civility!

Got the $2 can from total wine in cary, nice place. Looks like any other clear pale lager, lots of exciting carbonation bubbling around in there. Taste is like many pale lagers with a tad more bitterness than most. Some immature astringent bite in there lurking around. Easy drinking noble hops, I think. Yet in the end, that astringent bite seems to keep poking its head up. Not bad overall. It really does come across like an old country euro lager.

2 month old can A: Poured clear tawny gold with a light swirl of sediment and a thick pad of long lasting dark beige foam. S: Largely sweet, malty scent but a bit of orange citrus cuts through the caramel. T: Follows the nose but the orange zest, pith and pulp are more pronounced and almost balance the caramel and toast. M: Medium full body with lowish carbonation and a sticky finish. O: More like cascade hopped English IPA than citra or mosaic but Fortnight is known for English styles, so typical and tasty, but sweet.

From can at Bierfestival Wolvega. Aroma is citrus, lemon, and margarita flavours with a disturbing aftertaste reminding of burned plastic and manure. Tart, light sweet, light to medium body. Ouch... Ruined by burnt rubber/plastic aftertaste.
