jjsint Profile - Brewver

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.

Cask at the Blue Boar, Leicester. Mid-gold, clear with a large off-white head. Sweet aroma of fruit gummies, floral character, some plantain. Sweet taste, notes of apple, bubblegum. Bitterness follows but it's fairly mild. Medium body, low carbonation. Kind of artificial but overall fine.

Keg draught at the Two-Tailed Lion, Leicester. Dark reddish brown and mostly opaque with a small beige head. Vinous aroma, balsamic vinegar, some soy sauce. Taste is full, incredibly sour, vinegar, red grape, cranberry. Meaty. This is a proper sour that tastes its strength. Soy and vinaigrette in the finish. Full body with soft to medium carbonation. My Lord.

7.6/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 8.5 Flavor 7 Texture 7 Overall 8

Keg draught at the Two-Tailed Lion, Leicester. Very dark brown, almost black, almost opaque with a small layer of buff/khaki head. Smells of earth, light smoke, mushroom. Taste is surprisingly sweet with hints of liquorice, dialled-back treacle, black malts. Much less of the smoky earthy notes in the aroma. Lighter body than the ABV would suggest, fairly heavy carbonation. Great stuff.

7.8/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 7.5 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 8

Keg draught at the Two-Tailed Lion, Leicester. Light to mid-gold, a little hazy with visible carbonation. The head is white, spotty, small, uneven. Aroma is grassy and herbal, more lemon balm than lemon drop with strong thyme. Taste is sweet with a savoury herbal character, touch of salt. Wow, there is so much going on here. Light peppery notes on the finish. Full body for the ABV with massive carbonation. Another wonderfully creative beer, absolutely delicious and like nothing I've ever tried.

7.4/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 6.5 Texture 6 Overall 8

Handpull cask at the Two-Tailed Lion, Leicester. Mid-brown, a little translucent with a dissipating khaki head. Grassy notes in the aroma, some sweet orchard and stone fruits, pine, white pepper. Sweet taste, light malts, full fruity character. Light texture, which has served as the only reminder that this is 3.2%. Soft carbonation. An amazing and creative beer.
