Draught at brewpub. Great looking beer. Malty aroma with a rubbing alcohol note. Flavour is alcohol with a little malt. Not much of a finish. This beer tastes a lot like whisky.
Pours red with medium white head. Rather strong for a pilsener. Grassy aroma, Hoppy flavour with beet sweetness. Rather salady finish. I was told this was a pilsener with beet juice. Rather unique actually.
Draught. Orange yellow pour with thin head. Spicey aroma. Contains, according to the server, St. John’s Wort, Hyssop, Sichuan peppercorn, long peppers, and more. Reminds me of a medieval medicine. No mediciney taste. Light body, fuller flavour than you would expect. Spice finish.
Draught. Cloudy orange pour with thick white head. Balanced hop aroma, floral and citrus. Hop body, with a light bit of maltiness. Hop finish. Good with curry
I found this an ugly looking beer. Poured cloudy red with what looked like things floating in it. No head, no lacing. Aroma is ginger, citrus and oak. Full bodied flavour, more ginger with pleasing malt. Lekker spice finish.
Draught. Cloudy brown orange with thick white head. Hoppy aroma, smelled rather like an IPA. Hoppy flavour, citrusy with a malt edge. Hop finish. Bigger than it looked.
Draught. Pours black with thick beige head. Aroma is roast, with an unpleasant soapiness. Wonderful flavour, malt, chocolate, roast bread. Good finish, but not much of it. Light bodied.
Draught. Poured pale yellow with thin fast dissipating head. Little lacing. Aroma is orange and herb, Light bodied, with some sweetness. I found chamomile in the finish. Not a bad beer, somewhat like a saison. Had that Belgian note.
