Garrold Profile

Bottle. Bee, Darnall. Strongest shandy I’ve ever had 🤷🏻‍♂️ Deep pinky purple. Swede to match. I don’t know what this is supposed to be but I drank it like pop and could, at a push, have done another.

Baltic Lager from Love Lane Brewery

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

Can picked up by the missus from Home Bargains. £1.19! I mean it’s going to have to be shite to not be at least worth that. And it’s not. Far from it. Bit of a haze on a straw gold. Decent white foam. Crisp overall. Light hop bitterness. Sinks easy. Nice malts. Clean finish.

Munich from Mills Brewing

8 months ago

8.9/10 — Appearance 9 Aroma 9 Flavor 9 Texture 8 Overall 9

Bottle. Mills online. Hazed pale-ish copper colour. Thick noisy head settles to a nicely dense even pale ginger foam. There is a whiff of the maple syrup addition first up. Oak. Soft bretty funk. Wet leather. Background bready grain. Touch of orange peel and soft (festive, for some reason) spice. Taste is lightly tart with a well balanced sweetness. Super juicy throughout with brisk foamy carbonation. Light twang of citrus bitterness. Juicy bittersweet finish. Gloriously easy drinking.

New Insomnia from Polly's Brew Co.

6.8/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 7 Flavor 6.5 Texture 6 Overall 7

Can. Morrison’s. 4 for 3 job. Nearly clear pale gold. Slim sticky white foam. Nicely piny. Clean malts. Bit of old orange. Take has a malty sweetness first up with resinous pithy hop bitterness. A tad thin overall. Gets quite dry too. Thin bitter finish. I’d have a Jaipur at nearly 2 quid a pop less from the same shop, absolutely any day of the week.

Damson Porter from Holy Goat

8 months ago

8.6/10 — Appearance 9 Aroma 8.5 Flavor 8.5 Texture 8 Overall 9

Can via the online shop. Poured out mega murky deep purple tinged dark brown. Looked like prune juice. Sits murky dark brown in the glass. There’s plenty of damson in here, then. Head is soppy thick glossy beige. Looks boss. Nose has stewed prunes. Chocolate malts. Sweet oats. Whiff of caramel. Taste is semi sweet with a tiny bit of fruity tartness and low bitterness. Silky on the palate (maybe that’s all the fruit). Fruity semi tangy finish. Ace. Full of flavour and slips down way easy.
