Olut Profile - Brewver

Probably the last of the seasonal loopy-juice efforts still hanging around from the festive period, but a happy find as I've had several of this series before. This version is black with minimal head, sticky-sweet in texture, dark malty in taste with hints of liquorice enhancing the experience. You can feel the booze effect in the body, but it's relatively well hidden in the supping process for its strength.

Garçon DOES mean boy, only in modern parlance does it mean waiter. A hazy paler golden coloured and noticeably carbonated brew. It has initial tropical tasting American hops, which relent to produce a full-on pine aftertaste that lingers with a small dryness.

Steampunk is an example of retrofuturism. The ale is retro in a loose traditional sense. Mostly clear golden coloured ale, light in its golden ale style - hoppy and lightly sweetish, but for the most part just a hoppy session. Lacks a bit of flavour.

It was charming enough living next to Harlequins rugby training pitch for a few months in my London years. This indigenous hop brew is also quite charming. A clear blonde, easy textured, easy drinking pale ale with a heavy hoppy character, which is mildly creamy-sweet in aftertaste. Session ale here.

The full moon just passed before consuming this beer was called the Wolf Moon. This beer passing into me is purple coloured with fair amounts of dark and red berries available within a light sourness, available in both aroma and taste.
