8.5/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8.5 Flavor 8.5 Texture 9 Overall 8.5

Bottle via the online shop. Light haze on a pale-ish gold. Slim ring of white. Nose has dill and cucumber. Some vanilla like notes. Whiff of oak. Whiff of gherkin vinegar. Taste is a little sweet and a little dry. Nip of tartness. Refreshing and a just a bit juicy. Light tart juicy finish. Ace.

Bottle. Mitchell’s Wines. Clear deep chestnut. Solid beige foam. Nose has light ham smoke. Wood char. Dark fruit. Some bonfire toffee. Taste is semi sweet with some dryness. Easy drinking affair with rolling soft carbonation. Gets a little earthy and woody bitter on the finish.

Blimey! from Chantry Brewery

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

Cask. Chantry Inn. Clear reddy brown. Off white creamy swede. Nose has sweet malt. Some fruity hop. Whiff of sulphur. Reminded me a little bit of Wards bitter. Maybe that was the idea. Taste is fairly sweet with a moderate leafy hop bitterness. Drinks well at the lowly ABV. Light bitter finish.

India Pale Ale - Luminosa from The Kernel Brewery

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

Bottle. Dram Shop Sheffield. Ridiculously out of date and not even a quid off. Opens with a bit of a hiss and has a thick foam but it’s still in good shape. Pine and lime. Some gummy fruit thing. Light sweet malt backdrop. Taste has some sweetness with a moderate pithy bitterness. Moderate pithy bitterness to finish. Kernel’s BBDs are mad, as we know, and I suspect this has lost some brightness but a tick is a tick and it’s still solid.

Hidden Figures from Buxton Brewery

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

Can. Dram Stop Sheffield. Fully hazy slightly dirty gold. Thin sticky white foam. Plenty tangy this. Kweik yeast seems to go that way for me. Anyhoo. Lime and lemon. Bit of peach stone. Bit of cucumber melon, oddly. Super clean malts. Minimal on the oat front. Taste is similarly twangy with some soft ripe citrus sweetness and by way of balance some lime peel bitterness. Drinks easy with a semi dry light bitter finish. Wasn’t sure at first with the twang but actually really enjoyed this one.
