wheresthepath Profile

Can from Beer Merchants Tap, Hackney Wick. New brewery and a new region for me. Lightly hazed gold with a white head. Pine up front, lots of ginger, and some pink grapefruit coming through against a mellow malt background. Less bitter than many IPAs. Less aggressive too; slips down very easily and was a great match for my tandoori chicken. Enjoyed it.

2.6/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 4 Flavor 1 Texture 3 Overall 0.5

Bottle from Mleczko, Reading. Dark brown with a beige head. There's an initial flavour of kvass - rye bread, dark brown sugar, a touch of spice. Nice-ish flavour, but horribly sweet. However, you're then hit with a bitter and slightly sour taste of cardboard and metal with hints of that disgusting chicory-based fake coffee stuff - all of which is not only nasty, but clashes horribly with the sweet kvass-like start. The finish is sweet and syrupy yet still with the harsh metallic bitterness. Don't know quite what they're trying to do here, but overall this is grim (apart from the looks, which keep the score much higher than it should really be). Who actually buys this stuff (other than beer raters desperate for another tick of course 🤪)?
