jjsint Profile - Brewver

Keg at Hopology, Leicester. Lightish gold and pretty hazy with a small ring of white head. Smells of apricot, cracked wheat, orange peel. Taste is sweet, with sweaty stone fruit notes, with only the lightest bitterness. Light to medium body with intense carbonation. I love this brewery. All their beers have character.

Keg draught at Hopology, Leicester. Mid gild, hazy with the tiniest ring of white head. Pineapple juice and candy sugar rarely make good aroma bedfellows but it works well here. Sweet tastes with banana and touches of caramel alongside the other tropical fruits. Intense fruity bitterness in the finish.medium body, heavy carbonation. Wow.

Draught keg at Hopology, Leicester. Hazy, muddy yellow gold with a slightly scummy white head and loads of lacing. White grape, tropical fruit on the nose, touches of vanilla. Taste is wonderful, sweet with bags of tropical fruit, grape, satsuma. Bitterness is both intense and subtle in the finish. Light body with carbonation on the heavy side. Nothing short of wonderful.

440ml can, taken away from the Blue Boar, Leicester and drunk at home. Dark brown, opaque with a ring of beige head. Raspberry on the big aroma along with gooey dark chocolate. Taste is a bit off for me, not too sweet with a bit of berry sourness. More chocolate notes in the finish. Thick body with low carbonation. It’s okay. I want more from an imperial stout.

Keg draught at the Marquis Wellington, Leicester. Marmalade gold and clearwith a small ring of white head. Caramel, papaya, orange rind, spruce, a touch of stone fruit. Sweet taste with a lip-smacking bitterness at the end, more tropical fruit. Light body with well-judged carbonation. Delicious, maybe not the most authentic Westie but still enjoyable.

Keg draught at the Real Ale Classroom, Leicester city centre. Mid-brown, reddish, a bit hazy with a small beige head. Slightly sour aroma, bit of funk, notable lemon iced tea. Sweet/sour taste with a concentration on more lemon. The pepper element is stronger in the aftertaste. Medium body with low carbonation. Pretty messy and unconvincing but drinkable.
