jerseyislandbeer Profile

Old rating - The first beer produced by Matt & Digby, co founders of Jersey's only operating micro brewery. As you'd expect there is lots of room for improvement, but it was still a decent effort & proved to be a easy drinking IPA. I had a 2nd, 3rd & 4th bottle to really get the taste for it. Very refreshing on a summers evening. Different beer in my home No. 1780

Old rating - Picked up from the brewery shop, one of only 3 beers they currently bottle. This Ruby Porter is very dark in colour almost pitch black but up to a good light a brown reddish hue can be just picked out. You can taste the darker malts, and a roasted and almost dessert taste can be thoroughly sensed. This is one beer I'm going to enjoy slowly.

Old rating - This is a bright chestnut brown best bitter which I've enjoyed this one a few times.. Restrained malt tones are nicely balanced with a subtle but complex hop aroma. The finish is clean and dry with a moreish bitterness.

Old rating - A reasonable French version of a American India Pale Ale from this Parasian brewery, fruity aromas from the hops coming through at first but ending with a very bitter aftertaste
