Garrold Profile

Can picked up at the brewery. Mucky very dark brown. Decent swede. Nose has soft vine fruit notes. Whiff of coffee truffle. Honey is very evident giving off an almost vanilla like vibe. Taste is semi sweet with earthy ashy malt dryness. Decent body. Very drinkable overall. Dry-ish finish with vinous bitterness. Good.

Bottle. Waitrose. Was wondering if Kernel would send different hopped beers out and it appears they are. So that’s good. Nearly black. Stunning tan Kernel swede. Nobody does it better. Lots of roasty ashy notes. Some light roasted coffee bean. Grapefruit and orange hoppage. Slick and full but easy drinking throughout. Roasty zesty finish. Class.

Can picked up at the brewery. Mucky gold. Matching suds. Not the best looking beers these Triple Point. I reckon it’s the gluten free thing. Anyway. Nicely fruity on the nose with a bit of yer guava and passion fruit. Sweet citrus. Clean malts. Taste is semi sweet with a good zesty bitter edge. High on the drinkability. Clean bright citrusy bitter finish. Nice one. Plenty happening at the 4.6%.

Can. More Reasons. Has that air about it where a beer is brewed with one eye on flogging it to a supermarket. It’s clean and tidy enough with decent fruity hop on the nose, but thereafter it tries it’s best to be as inoffensive as possible. Thin and absolutely forgettable.

Cask. Thornbridge. Clear dark amber. Slim dense light tan foam. Nose has sweet nutty malts. Vine fruit. Some light burnt caramel. Taste is semi sweet with lots of leafy bitterness. Very smooth overall drinking under the ABV considerably. Bitter light dry finish. Good tasty cask.

Cask taster. Thornbridge. Because I’m not paying a penny for something with SMODs name attached to it. Clear amber. Slim white head. Nose has caramel. Vinous notes. Light toasty grain. Cake mix. Taste is semi sweet with some fruity nutty bitterness. Feels a tad thin. Has a light sourness throughout. Dry-ish finish.
