minutemat Profile

440ml can from Sainsbury's. Pours opaque, super cloudy murk, thick off-white head. Oof that's thick and pulpy.. a little too much.. tangy close. Not much juicy about it - seems to be mostly all the leftover matter after the juice has been squeezed out. A full can is a bit much in one go, had to pour some down the sink.

500ml can from Noz. Pours black, good off-white head. Aroma of cardboard, subtle roasted malt. Tastes a little musty, old, cardboard at first.. but seems to settle somewhat. Fine for a schwarzbier, quite light-tasting.

250ml bottle from Schuch's, Frankfurt. Pours a clear pale white wine gold. Crisp, slightly slick wine-like palate, soothing sweetness, some gooseberry, citrus, very wine-like tone overall. Nice Boskoop showcase.

500ml bottle, thanks Mike for squirrelling this away for me! Pours a generally clear pale amber, good white head. Nice cereal malt whiff, comforting gentle malt character, but bears a sugary sweetness that doesn't feel at home, and builds throughout suggesting a fermentation issue at play. Something not quite right here.

440ml can from Sainsbury's Shrewsbury. Pours an unclear pale gold, white head. Zesty citrus aroma. Flavour profile consists of fresh hop grapefruit.. easy going, nicely sessionable, moderate bitter close. Decent.
