Leighton Profile

Unusually bland. Vague lemon rind notes, some bitter straw, grass, lean pale malts, grain. There’s also an off background note, butyric-like. Lively carbonation. Not much going on here, at all.

Pleasant, easygoing helles. Mildly doughy pale biscuits, soft bitter hay, cereal, white bread. Good condition. Balanced overall. Rather drinkable.

Anti Establishment Back Up Session IPA from Aldi (Nord / Süd / Hofer)

4.8/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 4.5 Flavor 4.5 Texture 5 Overall 4.5

Well it’s certainly not good. Some lightly tangy pale grains, vague citrus notes, cereal, a little rindy bitterness. Almost has an artificial edge to it. Not impressed, Aldi - not impressed at all!

Graves Bordeaux from Buxton Brewery

6.5/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6.5 Flavor 6.5 Texture 6 Overall 7

Moderate sweetness, light oxidation, a little honey suckle, dry biscuit, pale wood, suggestion of acidity, golden raisins, mellow salinity. Interesting stuff overall. Lacks a bit of condition. Really doesn’t scream tripel. Interesting.

Rich and full, some earthy bitterness, toasted malts, toffee, stewed berries, booze. Thick, lightly chewy. Warming finish, a nip of damp old carpet, earth, more aged dark fruits. Not bad.

A typically sound Siren stout. Sweet, with rich dark malts, ample roast, a bit of boozy kick. Subtle earthy-ashy bitterness. Good stuff.
