Garrold Profile

Can picked up In Norfolk somewhere. Clear pale gold. Bubbly lasting white foam. Some light citrus notes here. Bit of salinity which I often seem to get with Adnams beers (maybe it’s a suggestion of the sea? Fuck knows). Anyway. Taste is light dry and light bitter. Not a great deal going on overall. Feels watery. Dry thin finish. Very much at the insipid end of the scale.

Can. Buxton online. Hazed slightly dirty gold. Sticky sudsy white foam. Nose has decent citrusy notes. Orange and lime cordial. Bit of zest. Malts barely getting a look in. Taste is semi sweet with a below usual bitterness for a Buxton pale. Easy drinking albeit a little low on carbonation and body. Light dry-ish bitter finish. Decent enough.

Can. Buxton online. Clear deep amber red. Slim sticky foam with a few suds. Nose has nutty mulch like malts and blackberry forward hop leaf notes. Taste is nutty sweet with an inevitable hit of, in this case leafy and slightly herbal, Buxton bitterness. Lots of flavour and good depth for the 4.1. Excellent best bitter that part way makes up for a couple of cans of shite I’ve had from the same order.

Bottle shared round Dan and Megan’s. States 2018 on the neck label but this beer definitely doesn’t need more batches adding. Anyway. Hazed copper amber with minimal white head. Past it’s best by some way. Some Flanders style notes left and lots of barrel but I’m guessing this is a shadow of its former self. Nice tick though.

Bottle shared round Dan and Megan’s. Inevitably it’s slick and oily. Lots of coffee and coconut. Slick and rich overall but there’s evidence throughout that this has gone a bit wonky and picked up a fair bug or two. Not as intended.

Can shared round Dan and Megan’s. Thick slick pour. Sits ominous. Decent bitterness on top of rich chocolate and dark roast malt. Big barrel presence. Scary easy drinking just shy of being overly pastry.

Bottle shared round Dan and Megan’s. Pours slick and tarry. Slim tan foam. Similarly slick and rich sweet and unctuous. Lots of chocolate vanilla and coconut. Pretty perfect beer to finish up a share. Dangerous gear.
