Leighton Profile

Nice, easygoing NA brewer. Frankly I think BrewDog does a fine job with low alc stuff. This one is clean, mildly pithy, a little bready malt sweetness. Some pine needles. Drinks well.

Good stuff. Nice depth. Well rounded. Toasted biscuits, a little cocoa, semi-dark fruit undertones. Good and drinkable. Sound.

Lunar Haze from Beavertown Brewery

6.6/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 6.5 Flavor 6.5 Texture 7 Overall 6.5

Drinkable but entirely unremarkable. Just a big standard, tame hazy. Subdued and vague fruity elements, mild rindy bitterness. The balance is decent, to be fair. Not bad generally.

Antarctica Pilsen from Ambev

5.6/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 5.5 Flavor 5.5 Texture 6 Overall 5.5

I find it to be a pretty acceptable cheap lager. A little on the sweet side, naturally. Mellow pale biscuits, straw. A suggestion of bitterness but no more. Served cold, goes down pleasantly.

Amaro from Pastore Brewing and Blending

6.3/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 6.5 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6

Not terrible, maybe a little lazy. Some caramel melt, vague bitterness. Toasted grass, orange peel. Bready malts. Not very cohesive, but just about drinkable.

That’s quite nice. The brett is forward. Makes the beer feel lighter overall. Pleasant fruity notes, dark berries, some old wood. A little chocolate. Mild warmth. Really cohesive and drinkable.

Small Batch Special - West Coast Session IPA from Howling Hops

1 month ago

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

Good cask offering. Nice lite piney hop character, a little candied citrus peel, lean pale malt backdrop. Pretty good condition for the cask. Modest grassy bitter aftertaste. Tidy overall.
