Helsdon Profile - Brewver (Dev)

Deeply underachieving beer snob. I'll occasionally have a drink, and when I do I want it to be a good one. Oh, and if I give a detailed rating on a beer, rather than a quick tick, you can ignore the specifics. I don't need to judge appearance, or whatever. I just don't want to leave a rating rounded to the nearest .5, like the quick tick limits you to.

Belgian Pale from Common Good Beer Company (Scarborough, Canada 🇨🇦)

1 year ago

7.3/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 7 Flavor 6.5 Texture 8 Overall 8

Bit of a mixed up brew. I'm geting the esters, with slight bananas and bubble gum. It's all under a mildly sweet malt, with solid bittering hops, resin, ans some tropical fruits.

Pours a light blonde, finger and a half of white head. Some decent light esters, over very light hay malts, notes of grass, grapefruit in there too. Some bitterness in the finish. A decent light saison. Can from the brewery.

Margarita Gose from Muskoka Brewery (Bracebridge, Canada 🇨🇦)

7.4/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 7.5 Flavor 7 Texture 7 Overall 8

Cloudy blonde with fluffy white head to ring. Nose is light lime and a little bread malt. Taste is fairly heavy key lime up front, notable, but not overwhelming salt, over wheaty malts. Lingers with lime, salt and and some acidity on the finish. Decent density for a 4%. Kind of a targeted beer, very cooler focused, but doesn't get sweet, and is pretty tasty and decent.

7.8/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 8.5 Texture 8 Overall 7.5

Dark opaque pour, with a finger of tan head that sustains. Taste is solid toasty, bready malt, that's fairy dry, with mild bittering hops. The flavour comprehensively lingers. I enjoyed thia one. Can from the brewery.

6.6/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 6 Flavor 6.5 Texture 7 Overall 7

Pours a pale, but cloudy blonde, with soapy white head. Taste is fairly light. Mild, slightly thin, dry hay malt. Hops is mildly resious, mildly bitter with citrus undertones, with lingering bitterness on the finish. Feels a little thin, but not bad. Can from the brewery.
