Leighton Profile

Looks good but lacks balance. Ample husky grains, strong grassy bitterness, dirty hay. Light sweetness. Pale grain. Heavy lingering bitterness. Prices really have crept up; this was £3.65 for a half.

Green Blaze IPA from Long Trail Brewing Company

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

Nice and easygoing IPA. Has some pleasant piney hops, supportive malt backbone, citrus rind, tangerine, melon, nips of mango. Sun-kissed malts. Yeah, this is well balanced throwback gear. Great stuff.

Well rounded gear. Has a nice bit of bitterness. Semi-ripe citrus, bitter rind, pine. Supportive background malts. Highly drinkable.

Bottled 2015. Gorgeous stuff, great acetic twang, aged berries, bit of leather, cherry, modest funk, sturdy acidity, some salty sweat. Nice one.

Big and sweet, chewy and somewhat thick, low roast, mellow chocolate accents, light booze, burnt toffee, suggestions of stewed berries. Pretty basic overall. Quite drinkable but lacks complexity.

Lovely fresh bready pale malt character, soft rindy bitterness, lemon rind accents, biscuits. Great fresh malt character, above all else.

Can in VT. Nice and drinkable, some bready pale malts, soft citrus purée, low bitterness, some rind, biscuit, lemon, tangerine, melon. Decent dank factor. Pretty soft. This one grew on me a little.
