BlackHaddock Profile

Hand-pulled third of a pint at the source on 14th May 2025 (part of a three beer flight). Golden body, almost clear, white affair on top. Slight citrus and floral nose/taste, all subtle and under stated, some malt action too, but again subdued rather than in your face.

50cl bottle drank at home on 17th May 2025 while doing a BBQ in the back garden. Light golden body, clean and clear; on top a white affair of tight bubbles. Not a lot of aroma or taste to be honest, all a bit wet and boring flavour wise, bottle claimed Centennial & Cascade hops were in the brew; little evidence in my glass. Hoped and expected more.

330ml can from the Happy Vintner in Tiverton. Drank at home while doing a BBQ in the back garden on 17th May 2025. Nice red hue to the autumnal coloured body, off white head. Mini citrus bite below a malty base line. Mild toffee sweetness before the citrus hops kick in.

500ml bottle from the Jolly Vintner, Tiverton. Drank while doing a BBQ in my back garden on Saturday 17th May 2025. Good looking beer, deep amber body, clean and clear, beige head that hung around. Woody, nutty and earthy with a slight fruity undertone, decent honest Bitter all round. More malty than hoppy.
