The next beer might even be better. B.C."H." = British Cask "Head" - to be perceived as some disparate lonely looking bubbles, uncertain of their CO² content, and because of their scarcity, of undefinable colour. UFO's: Unspeakable Floating Obscenities MF: NO, that isn't it. That's mouthfeel, in civilized countries. I hereby solemny propose a law to be instated by all beergeeks, -amateurs, -lovers, -tasters, - enthusiasts that forthwith the use of the infernal spice, known as coriander, is forbidden for at least the five first years of brewing, and later only to be tolerated by explicit consent of minimum five different accredited beerorganisations. Infringements ought to be sanctioned by denouncement to the international beerpress and public drainpour of the offending brew.

Stable, medium to good white head, bit fluffy, over lightly veiled, very carbonated golden beer. Aromatic, fruity aroma, but also a lot of cardboard. Passion fruit, white grape, etc. Again cardboard in the taste, quite bitter, if only momentary. Resiny, and also resiny feel in the MF, oily, old leaves. Slick, good carbonation, medium bodied. Rather average IPA, if not much wrong - the cardboard flavour excepted. Old hops?

Good, whipped eggwhite-like, dense yellowish head over clear metallic copper beer with fine pearling. Malts, pale and toasted, an inviting smell as from lawn-aired laundry; freshly harvested grain. Soft sweetness with again this 'aired laundry' impression. Quite grassy. Light body, soft carbonation. Rather average in the end. Txs to Stef!

Good white head over copperish, clear golden beer; doesn't look very carbonated. Sweet malts, summerwheat, and strangely wheatacidity suggested - no wheat in the bill - and honeyish. Some bitterness all the same, but then the flavours fades away. Bit green shoots. Light, soft carbonation, slick. Good on a nice summers' day.

Transparant bubbles, fast reduced to one white circle over hazy yellow-ochre beer. Sourish grapes with wild yeasts, Bretts (the good ones!), farmyard odours, and white wine, lemon. Sourish, grapey; even more expressly white wine, horseblanket. Spring leaves. Ultra dry, tart, not really fully carbonated. Acidthinning and some -burn. Fantastic "Brut" beer, with an outspoken gueuze character. Yet another gem from Jitka!

Pours viscously to black beer with a small tan head. Chocolate, ashes, roast, liquorice, cacaodrink. Again chocolate, dry roast, bit mineral, spinach, faraway liquorice-like sweetness. Full bodied, viscously slick, not very carbonated. Classic Imperial stout without much else - but also without any pastry addition, thanks heaven! Txs to Stef!

Cognac-coloured beer with an off-white rim. Acetic & lactic nose, brown sugar dissolved in the acids and wood-lagered; chocolate, dried red fruit, winecasks. Soupy - with a mineral flavour, I suspect DMS in higher concentration giving a shellfish flavour. Again winecasks, dried red fruit and lactic acid - no more acetic. Some acidburn and lots of -thinning, lively carbonation. Less aggressive than some of the Morpheus line. Txs to Stef!

Head gone in seconds over hazy terra cotta beer, still. Sourish nose, as cactusjuice, agave, mezcal, purple gooseberry but also celeri, and finally, recognized hibiscus. Sour tea, tea with lemonjuice, sour berries, lactic acid and again - if less obvious than in the nose - hibiscus(tea). Very faintly astringent, light body, medium carbonation. Interesting, amusing. Txs to Stef!

Head gone to rim in seconds; hazy golden-yellow beer. Intense grapey hops' nose, lunaria, nectarine, bit cilandro. Lots of citrus & citruspeel, some asafoetida. Again green herbs, lunaria, citrus and white grapes. Faint resiny lupulin. Quite hopoilslick, well-carbonated, viscous and creamy both. Long lasting flavours. Not half bad, good NEIPA - the kind we like! Txs to Stef!
