Olut Profile - Brewver

On the hillside just above the road passing through the town, it's a small two building venue, an office area with a bottle shop, that also has a pouring area on the other side from the large Sidra barrels built into the wall, and a covered but open to the elements standard museum section on the opposite side of the raised terrace area. The hillside also has some old cider making objects scattered about it. Pay in the office, I got a personal tour of the museum being the only person there at the time, with samples offered at the end. Doesn't take too long and is reasonably priced considered you get to drink a couple of samples at the end.

Collab Collection No.6 - Double IPA from Asda

1 year ago

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

Drinking this one on Sandanista Day, celebrating the 1979 Revolution in Nicaragua, today led by double term serving president Daniel Ortega. This Double IPA is kind of a celebration as it's actually a pretty good supermarket exclusive... bucking the trend! I've just had a DIPA previously and this is much better with its sweetish tropical fruitiness more dominant than its strength in taste - a little more levelled up in aroma but always flavoursome.

Afterglow from Vocation Brewery

7.1/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 7 Overall 7.5

Afterglow is the name of an Oscar nominated Nick Nolte Rom-com towards the end of last century - it didn't win. Fine, but probably no awards for this strength-driven IPA, which does impact on its hoppy tropical-fruitiness to an extent. Hazy with sweetened flavours.

Pilsner from Saltaire Brewery

1 year ago

6.1/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 6 Flavor 5.5 Texture 7 Overall 6

Deadication beer to Czech composer Julius Fucik, who was born on this day and his compositions are still played as patriotic music in Czechia. The composition of this pilsner is pretty good in terms of style, it has a very 'Czech' taste and is easy in the palate, however as a brew it's pretty bland. Golden-blonde colour.

Dunell's Beaumont

6.6/10 — Setting 7 Selection 7 Service 8 Food Value 5 Overall 6

On the main seafront road west of the capital in Beaumont, it backs onto the promenade at this point and is accessed on this side beyond its car park. Wine and spirits dominate in a made cosy warehouse setting and the displays are well designed and organised. One alcove is given over to beers and ciders and all arranged by styles on shelves. This place represents the best selection of beers on the island that I found, and as it's a small island I can't imagine I missed anywhere with a larger one. Local beers are available but like most places in Jersey there's nothing extensive, but there's lots of craft cans from the UK, Europe and North America. They had just less than a 100 options on my visit, although the website has probably double this many listed. The only thing that put me off buying many was the very inflated prices on most items.

Dripp - Passion Fruit from Brewgooder

6.3/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 7 Overall 6

I'm drinking this one on 'Nelson Mandela Day' - I was once told by a bus driver whilst touring South Africa that the large house we were passing was his home. I have no idea if he was telling the truth or not! I am sure this has plenty of passion fruit in both aroma and taste, and at slightly overbearing levels. I wouldn't want more than a can of this at a time! Sweetish with a carbonation also affecting its taste.
