jjsint Profile - Brewver

Keg draught at the Smithfield, Derby. Pale gold and a little bit hazy. A swirl of white head. Light aroma of husky malt, white grape. Taste is pleasantly sweet, a little malty again, with some bitter hop in the second half of the sip. Body may be a bit watery but the carbonation lifts it. It's clean and doesn't really have the confidence of the best Polly's beers.

Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 8 | Flavor - 8.5 | Texture - 7 | Overall - 7

16 ounce can. A gift, probably from House of Trembling Madness, York. Reddish purple, a little translucent with a puce-white head. The marshmallows are dominant in the aroma but the blueberry is definitely present in the distance if a bit meddled. (I thought I’d bought the blackberry one and was one the wiser.) Taste is sweet, a little bit of sourness from the berry but overall this is a really sweet beer. Medium body with tight carbonation.a cracking sour for sure, even if it is a wee bit sickly. Good for sharing!

440ml can at Tønne, Leicester. Mid-brown and pretty translucent with a small uneven swirl of beige head. Sweet creamy vanilla on the nose. Less of the coffee here. I'm also getting light notes of caramel. Taste is sweet, more vanilla here. Tempered by the dark malts. Light body with heavier carbonation. Quite good but I think I want more from it.

Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 5.5 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 6.5

440ml can at Tønne, Leicester. Mid-brown, very translucent with a loose khaki head. Aroma is light, a little bit of vanilla and some coffee. Flavour is improved, with over-roasted coffee and vanilla pod. Initial sweetness with a bitter finish. Light body with heavy carbonation. A little ho-hum.l think but overall drinkable.

Appearance - 7 | Aroma - 6.5 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 5 | Overall - 7

440ml can at Tønne, Leicester. Light pink and hazy with a swirl of white head. Sweet raspberry, candy sugar, sugared orange slices on the nose. Taste is superficially sweet butalso soured with more raspberry, some cherry, candy floss. Inconsequential weight on the body with carbonation on the low side. Fun.
