jjsint Profile - Brewver

Keg draught at Tønne, Leicester. Muddy light brown with a ring of off-white head. Big sugary aroma, lots of apple.no surprises there. Sweet/sour taste, with notes of caramel syrup and applesauce. A little more sourness in the finish. Light-ish body with carbonation on the low side. A bit weird but certainly decent enough, if not quite up to Vault City's usual standards.

568ml can bought from the Offie, Leicester and drunk at home. Light gold, fairly hazy with a swirl of off-white head. Big citrus aroma with a dollop of stone fruit and light biscuity notes. Bittersweet taste, very muted compared to the aroma, juicy and not too sugary. Light bitterness in the finish is. Medium body with combination on the low side. Not as engaging as most of Arbor's output but still decent.

Bag in a box at the Old Horse, Leicester. Mid- to dark gold and clear with no head. Apples with pie crust in the aroma. As expected its decent if a bit artificial. Sweet taste, more sweet crust with light lemon, and still able to impart that apple tang. Brown sugar nearer to the finish. Medium body, a bit oily, no carbonation. Sue me. I like this.

Keg draught at the Queens Road Tap,.Leicester. Light yellowish gold and hazy with a large white head. Aroma of peaches, some vanilla, some soap. Taste is sweet, a bit more soap than I'd like. Bitterness in the finish. Medium body, soft carbonation. Not all that keen but it is drinkable.

Handpull cask at the Queens Road Tap, Leicester. Light gold, a little hazy with a small white head. Light aroma of grape, lime, gooseberry. Taste is not to my taste, sweet and quite astringent with some bitterness near the finish. Medium body with soft carbonation. Not a great beer really, which is a shame as I've had some cracking Milestone beers lately.

Draught keg at the Queens Road Tap, Leicester. Green! Light to mid-green and clear with a small white head. Light lime notes on the nose, some vanilla, a bit medicinal. Light sour flavour of lime with creamy vanilla sweetness pushing against it. Body is fairly watery with carbonation at a minimum. It's better than just a gimmick (I've had a few green beers in my day, this ain't my first rodeo) but it's not as good as I'd hoped it would be.

Draught keg at the Queens Road Tap. Light gold, hazy with a small ring of white head. Beautiful aroma of stone fruit, cracked wheat, golden syrup. Sweet taste, a little bit of sweaty stone fruit, with light bitterness in the all-too-short finish. Light body with intense carbonation. A super lower-ABV pale.

440ml can bought as part of a delivery from Raynville Superstore and drunk at home. Purplish crimson, opaque with a thick pinkish-purple head. Sweet and fruity aroma of blackcurrant, cherry, light bubblegum, sour plum. Taste doesn't disappoint either with the sweetness dominating cherry and berry sourness, with the fruit bursting through the edges. Long sour finish. Thick body with little carbonation. So impressive.
