jjsint Profile - Brewver

This is everywhere! How the hell have I not had this yet? Draught keg at Tønne, Leicester. Orangeish pink with a small uneven cream-coloured head. Strawberry aroma, but it's more strawberry syrup (like the kind you'd find on a sundae... well played, Vault City!) I expected a sweet taste but there a tight tartness to it. Sweet cream soda and of course strawberry follow. Long diplomatic finish which tried to reconcile the sweet and the sour.medium body with carbonation on the heavy side. By no means complex, but enjoyable.

Soft Glow from Yonder Brewing and Blending

6.6/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 7 Flavor 6 Texture 7 Overall 6.5

Draught keg at Tønne, Leicester. Slightly dark gold, a little hazy with an uneven ring of white head. Aroma of honeydew melon, sweet coconut meat, a touch of butterscotch. Taste is sweet, the flavours feel dialled back but I'm still getting good melon notes. Bitterness nearer the finish. Body's a little watery but that's fine. Carbonation on the intense side. It's muted just that little bit which is a shame as there's a lot of promise here.

Radioactive Worms from Azvex Brewing Company

7.3/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 7 Flavor 7.5 Texture 7 Overall 7.5

440ml can as part of a delivery from the brewery and drunk at home. Light gold and hazy with a ring of white head. Aroma of bright citrus underpinned by tropical fruits such as pineapple, melon and mango and some decent vanilla malt. Sweet taste, nicely balanced with tropical fruits such as flavours coming through. Long complex finish, some biscuity character with stone fruit joint the other flavours in the aftertaste. Medium bod6 and carbonation. Wasn’t sure at first but this one really grew on me.

500ml bottle bought from Hay Wines, Ledbury and drunk at home. Deep, slightly brownish orange, clear with no head. Full Apple aroma, touches of vinegar and caramel. Sour, tangy taste. A souring dryness in the short finish. Woody notes. Medium body with almost no carbonation. Okay.
