jjsint Profile - Brewver

Draught keg at the brewery tap, Sutton-in-Ashfield. Orange/pink and hazy, with a little bit of off-white head. Raspberry dominates the aroma, some hard citrus. Taste is tart, not impossibly so but it's got a good sourness going on. More raspberry and some orange, kumquat and a touch of rum. Maybe vanilla? Light to medium body with good carbonation. Nice.

Handpull cask at the Barrel Micropub, Mansfield Woodhouse. Mid- to dark brown, translucent with a tight beige/khaki head. Aroma is dominated by sweet coconut milk, some milk chocolate. Sweet, sweet taste, more coconut with sugary plumage the edges. Medium to full body with soft to medium carbonation. Very nice.

Rush Less from Bang The Elephant Brewing

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

Handpull cask at the Brown Cow, Mansfield. Light coppery brown, clear with a small but thick beige head. Booked sweet dominates the aroma, with grassy notes and some stone fruit. Taste is sweet at first: candy-laden, some floral touches. It then turns to an intense bitter with strong iced tea and a drying finish. Medium body with soft carbonation. An odd one, this. I don't live it but I don't kind it, and it's nice to try something that isn't the same old every time.

440ml can bought as part of a delivery from the brewery and drunk at home. Light yellow gold, hazy with a large white head, leaving lacing as it dissipates. Dank grapefruit aroma, a little bit of pineapple and melon maybe some scallion.. The taste is just packed with hop, it's fruity and very bitter but never completely overpowered. Finishes intensely bitter. Light to medium body with soft carbonation. It almost falls over under its own intensity but somehow doesn't.

440ml can bought as part of a delivery from the brewery and drunk at home. Light to medium golden yellow, a touch of green. Incredibly hazy with a quickly dissipating white head. Lovely aroma with peach frozen yoghurt, some pink grapefruit, a little bit of pineapple. Sweet, creamy taste up front with peaches and apricot to the fore, quickly followed by an intense bitterness to the finish. Medium body with carbonation on the soft side. Very good.

General Number Field Sieve from Azvex Brewing Company

440ml can as part of a delivery from the brewery and drunk at home. Pours orange yellow, on the light side with a quickly dissipating white head. Spicy hop with notes of gooseberry, lime, pine, cracked wheat, apricot. Tastes quite bitter - not impossibly so, but certainly no sugar bomb - with lime leaf, vanilla, pine, sweaty apricot. Nice pineapple and melon notes on the finish, with more bitterness here. Body’s fairly thin, and the carbonation is dialled back. All in all this is an absolutely cracking IPA.
