Leighton Profile

Quite a solid IPA. Bright and fresh citrus expression, some tangerine, melon, peach, rindy bitterness, background pale malt. Nicely rounded. Good dankness, too.

Massively drinkable sauce. Sturdy bitterness, earth, leaves and grass. Modest toasted malt sweetness. Nips of yeast expression. Toasted grains, some husky bitterness. Background dried citrus peel. Punches above its weight class.

Lucaria - Salted Caramel from Thornbridge Brewery

7.3/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7.5 Flavor 7 Texture 7 Overall 7

Fairly tame overall, which I suppose is not a bad thing, as I don’t want to drink batter water. In truth, it’s not far from a straight-ahead porter. There’s roast, mild cocoa, burnt sugars, mild earthy bitterness. Inklings of dried dark fruits. The name is misleading. The beer is nice.

Quite easygoing. Soft roast, some dark berries, mellow earthy hops, chocolate accents, low bitterness, little British yeast. Drinks fine overall. Not so complex, but that’s OK.

Vintage Fine Cider Aged in American Oak Barrels Season 2022 from Oliver's Cider

7.6/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7.5 Flavor 7.5 Texture 8 Overall 7.5

Very nice stuff. Quite dry. Mellow ripe apple. Rounded and deep woody character, doesn’t scream American oak to me, just generally quite dry and woody. Musty cellar. A little warmth to finish. Subtle warmth - drinks below the ABV. Some bitter peel. Good one overall.

Basically hits the stylistic points. Pretty clean and dry, some pleasant lightly piney hops. A little white pepper, lemon rind. Not much gooey resin or caramelly malts. All pretty lean. Quite drinkable.
