jjsint Profile - Brewver

Handpull cask at the Pharmacie Arms, Syston. Dark, almost brownish gold, takes ages and does not quite settle. Full creamy beige head. Fruity, malty, slightly buttery aroma. Bittersweet taste with big bittering hops shoving aside the fruit and malt flavours. Notes of kumquat, apple. Finish is quite bitter. Medium texture with soft carbonation. Didn't like it much at first but I got used to and even sort of liked it. In a way.

Bound by Time from Edmund's Oast Brewing Company

7/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6.5 Flavor 8 Texture 7 Overall 7

US pint can delivered from Beers of America and drunk at home. Light to mid-gold, medium body with a small spotty white head. Not a lot on the nose: light bitter orange, gentle malt, some sharp hop. Taste is much improved. A sweetness in the first moment breaks open to show satsuma, boiled sweet, followed by a surprisingly intense bitterness which lies in the mouth for a long finish. Medium texture with carbonation on the heavy side. A good IPA which is worth taking the time to get to know.

8.1/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8.5 Flavor 8 Texture 7 Overall 8.5

568ml can bought at Magnum Wine Shop and drunk at home. Golden amber and hazy with a quickly dissipating light beige head. Aroma of tangerine peel and big resinous malts. Sweetctaste, still very malt-led with citrus and stone fruit hops. A hint of mango. Light bitterness in the finish with a juicy aftertaste. My God this is good.

Just Had To Teach Myself Calculation Logic from Boundary Brewing

7.1/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 7.5 Flavor 6.5 Texture 8 Overall 7

Draught keg at Tønne, Leicester. Light to mid-yellow gold. Hazy with a ring of white head. Coconut leads the aroma but there is also a tropical cocktail feel to it. Lots of lime, a little salt. Sweet/sour taste, loads of coconut and souring citrus. Light body, medium carbonation. It's a one-trick pony but what a trick.

7.1/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 7.5 Texture 8 Overall 8

Draught keg at the Blue Boar, Leicester. Light to mid-gold, very hazy. Light aroma of pink grapefruit and lemon zest. Taste is much more complex with a malt-caressed vanilla sweetness and light hoppy biteback on the back of the tongue. Medium to heavy carbonation. Very nice.

Gravity cask at the ue Boar, Leicester. Light to mid-gold and very hazy with a loose off-white head. Big white grapefruit aroma, some lemon zest, a touch of passionfruit. Sweet taste. Lots of grapefruit. Lots of hop. Bitterness in the finish. Light body with soft to nil carbonation. Not an overly impressive beer but not bad either.
