jjsint Profile - Brewver

Keg draught at Mill Hill Cask & Coffee. Light gold, hazy with a pillowy white head. Some melon and orange in the aroma with biscuity malt. Sweet taste, nice malt/hop balance. More melon. No bitter bite back though... this is sweet all the way. Light body and soft carbonation. Really nice.

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

Handpull cask at the Kings Head, Leicester.mid-brown, a little bit translucent, a small beige/khaki head. Aroma is caramel, liquorice, a little bit of leather. Sweet taste, a fair hit of lactose with notes of liquorice and smoke beside it. Some bitterness in the finish. Very watery body with little carbonation. It's a bit bizarre, although decent enough to drink once.

Handpull cask at the King's Head, Leicester. Light to mid-gold, clear with a small loose white head. Floral and fruity aroma, some mango and sweet melon. Taste is sweet, more tropical fruit, with a tiny bitterness near the finish. Medium oily body with almost no carbonation. A cut above most of the loads of sessionable pales that Salopian is putting out lately.

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

Handpull cask at the Kings Head, Leicester. Reddish/brownish gold, murky with a small layer of off-white head. Floral aroma, some fruited caramel, a touch of apricot. Lots of sweet malt in the mouth, some strawberry. Maybe a hint if bitterness at the finish but it isn't much. This is a sweet and malty beer. Medium body. Carbonation is zilch. Has that home brew-y imbalance but if truth be told it isn't terrible. Just far from amazing.

330ml bottle bought from the Offie, Leicester and drunk at home. Mid-brown, a little bit translucent with a good-sized layer of khaki head. Aroma of figs, raisins, some anise. Taste is mostly sweet backed by a lightly astringent bitterness which takes it through to the long finish. Notes of dark caramel in the aftertaste. Body on the light side with loads of carbonation. Love it!
