hawthorne00 Profile

Can. Gold, 2cm white head. Grainy aroma with those somewhat earthy hops that signal extract. Sweet and not entirely clean - but not without some character either. Fairly snappy finish. Undistinguished.

7/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7

Can. Misted yellow with a mousse-like white head that lasts well. Light smoke and cracker aroma with hints of honeyed dough. Somewhat creamy with little sweetness, plenty of rather refined smoke, crackers. Low bitterness. Elegant.

B2 Bomber Mach 15.0 from Bridge Road Brewers

1 month ago

8.1/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 8 Flavor 8.5 Texture 8 Overall 8.5

Bottle. Very black with a fluffy light tan head that fades from an inch to a cm. Aroma of heavy roast, blackberries, pine. Usually worth waiting a little while with these - they soften a tad and flavours integrate a bit more. This is softly doughy but still roasty, piney and bitter but dark fruit and sugars have room to move. I've liked the recent years when it's been a bit lower in alcohol but this works well too - it doesn't seem overbearing and there's no unintegrated booze. I may drink the other glass tonight. About 13C which was just right.

Fresh IPA - MAR 2026 from Garage Project

1 month ago

7.3/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7.5 Flavor 7.5 Texture 7 Overall 7.5

Can. Dirty orange with a small frothy white head. Aroma of ripe mango, orange, Asian pineapple, soft bread. Sweet and quite peachy with tropical notes offset by a slight astringency and moderate bitterness. Pretty good but 7% seems strong for what it offers.

Tea Party Sticky Rice Green Tea Beer with Jasmine & Honey from NBeer

1 month ago

5.9/10 — Appearance 5 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6

Can. Orange, small white head. Green tea aroma with some jasmine and what could be honeysuckle but is presumably honey. Very green tea like with that drying vegetable finish. Quite dry with the memory of honey, a little bitterness. Interesting, could definitely imagine eating (say) dumplings or dry noodles with this.
