Oakes Profile - Brewver (Dev)

Can, from London Drugs. This has a really ugly dull colour, light brownish tan. Okay head, a bit thin but looks like it'll stay. The aroma is pure wort. Taste is pure wort. Fairly creamy. Slight effervescence. No particular weizen character, which is odd. Tastes like a non-alcoholic from bygone era. I don't hate it, mostly because I can drink malta, but it's not exactly compelling.

Dull diarrheic colour. Looks really bad. Tart, has rosemary, some juiciness, juniper. Low bitterness. It's not bad. Better if you're blind, though.

Sort of a purplish-brown colour. Not particularly appealing. But it has a cool aroma - rosemary, cherry, sherry. Soft body, a touch oily. Good acidity. Berry notes, red wine, candy. Complex. It's a weird one, but I found it very good.

Hazy pale, light peach. Grapefruit on the palate, with herbaceous gin barrel. Soft body, balanced, and a bit yeasty.

Dark brown. Sort of a rummy aroma. Ok, so that's more sherry on the palate, and tannins. Soft body, chocoately, and that creates an interesting interplay between the base and the barrel.

Opaque. It smells good - the pear and apple are both there. Good fruit character and rounded barrel notes. Excellent.

Murky with a sweet juicy apple aroma. Nice bit of spice to it. Bright and complex apple. Very good. Great, unique character.
