jjsint Profile - Brewver

Keg draught at the Three Nuns, Leicester. Mid golden, a little hazy, with a creamy off-white head. Herbal aroma, some citrus. Taste isn't so good. Some malty notes and souring yeasty bread with some light citrus. Some bitterness in the finish. Lighter body with carbonation on the heavy side. All in all not great.

440ml can at the Amber Rooms, Loughborough.it pours pinkish yellow lime rose wine. Clear. A small white head. Mostly pink grapefruit aroma with a light salty character. Light sweet and fruity taste with a bit of salt. Gentle bitterness in the finish. Watery body with somewhat heavy carbonation. It's okay but tastes more like a mixer than an actual drink.

Keg draught at the Needle and Pin, Loughborough. Dark brown, almost black and mostly opaque with very little head. Vinous aroma, light sourness with an overlay of coffee. Complex taste with a gooey coffee sweetness, some Marmite, cooking chocolate, Amaro bitterness. Thick, thick body with low to medium carbonation. Ooooh. Special.

440ml can bought as part of a delivery from RAD Beer and drunk at hone. Light to mid-gold and hazy with a small white head. A bit of mango, melon, maybe even a little banana. So, a taste it expecting a sugar bomb but it's nicely balanced. Maybe the bitter side of bittersweet. Lots more tropical fruit with some pink grapefruit and light elements of rose closer to the finish. Thick soupy body with medium carbonation. Lovely.

500ml bottle as part of a delivery from RAD Beer and drunk at home. Mid-gold and clear with a large rocky off-white head. Light smoke, a deep malty aroma with a metallic edge. Light, sweet taste, more smoke, leading to some gentle bittering hops and a short finish. Body's pretty watery even for the low alcohol content, but the full carbonation more than makes up for that. Maybe short of their best beers but this is a humdinger.

Handpull cask at the Lime Kiln, Bristol. Amber and clear with a small uneven ring of off-white head. Aroma of caramel malts, dark toffee. Sweet taste, has a bit of citrus uplift to it. More toffee toward the finish. Light body, almost no carbonation. Very traditional. Well made but I prefer a little more complexity to mark it higher.

Llandoger Trow

7/10 — Setting 6 Selection 9 Service 7 Food Value 6 Overall 7

I went to Llandoger Trow on a late Saturday afternoon, probably not the best time to enjoy its charms. It is very old, and apparently where Daniel Defoe met Alexander Selkirk and was inspired to write Robinson Crusoe. That sort of place. But in January, it’s full of friendly students instead of tourists. It’s a pretty massive pub, with a massive beer list (about 30, including 5 cask). It’s more quantity than quality although there’s some good ‘uns including beers from Yonder, weekend project, Drop Project, Mobberley. Not nearly as expensive as it could be. A great experience but I’d go outside of peak hours (and maybe tourist season).
