jjsint Profile - Brewver (Dev)

Keg draught at the Pharmacie Arms, Syston. Dark gold, a bit of haze with sporty white head. Light perfumed aroma, woody notes with some caramel. Big bitter taste, some citrus peel. Flowery character. Medium body with heavy carbonation. Just didn't really vibe with this. I love a good West Coast, but this one seemed to be lacking the character if not the intensity.

Tasty Rainbow - Lemon from Vault City (Edinburgh, Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿)

6.8/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6.5 Flavor 7.5 Texture 7 Overall 6.5

Keg draught at the Pharmacie Arms, Syston. Dark gold, a fair bit of haze with a spotty white head. Harsh lemon, boiled sweet. Taste is very sour, big tart lemon taste. It's all a bit artificial - like the Skittle that it's seemingly attempting to mimic - but it's fun. Not Vault City's best beer by any means but they certainly aren't short of imagination.

Handpull cask at the Pharmacie Arms, Syston. Light underripe peach yellow, hazy with a massive off-white head. And it does have a light stone fruit aroma, some papaya, vanilla malt. Sweet taste, getting loads of cantaloupe and some banana. Little bit of bitterness emerging in the latter half of rhe sip. Good body, soft carbonation. Very nice. A lot more subtle than I expected but it handles well.

6.3/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 6.5 Texture 7 Overall 6

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 (Charleston, United States 🇺🇸)

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.

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 (Belfast, Northern Ireland )

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.

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.
