Garrold Profile

Bottle via the online shop. Nearly black. Leggy and semi lacing glossy tan foam. Nose has red wine dregs. Milk chocolate. Ripe orange. Whiff of mint leaf. I don’t really understand this, so far. Taste is semi sweet with a touch of a fruity twang. Some roast malt bitterness. Drinks like a beer half the actual ABV, feeling creamy and dessert like. Tangy fruity light bitter finish. Pretty amazing drinkability here. Not sure I’ve had anything close to this. Bonkers.

Graves Bordeaux from Buxton Brewery

5.3/10 — Appearance 5 Aroma 5 Flavor 6 Texture 5 Overall 5

Bottle via the online shop. I think with various discounts this was sub 2 quid. Which tbf is all this particular bottle is worth. Dull lifeless pour. Sits muddy sad brown in the glass. Swede is thin and dirty. After that it’s just a flat oxidised mess, unfortunately. There’s a whiff of barrel in there but overall it’s lost.

750ml bottle. Chatsworth Farm Shop. Hazed pale gold. Good white swede. Nose has light earthy ginger. Sweet rhubarb. Vanilla pod. Taste is light sensitive with some moderate bitterness. Beautiful condition as per a Resting Devil bev. Hint of bitterness to finish. Shows off the additions really well. Missus hated it 🤷🏻‍♂️

Beyond (Can) from Northern Monk Brew Co.

6.9/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 6.5 Texture 7 Overall 6.5

Pint can. Asdas. Soft hazed gold. Decent white foam stays the course. Nose has pine air freshener. Some sweet citrus. That’s about it really. Taste has an initial brioche like sweetness before getting resinous and sappy bitter. Sticky on the palate. Needs drinking very cold this one. Sappy bitterness to finish. Very one dimensional and tbh it got boring by the end of the fuck off big can.

6.9/10 — Appearance 9 Aroma 6.5 Flavor 6.5 Texture 6 Overall 7

Can picked up at the brewery. Lovely rose pink colour with a nice dense pale pink foam. Easy 9. Nose has light tart fruit and plenty of wheat. Taste is lightly tart with noticeable salinity. Light bodied with soft foamy carbonation. Bit thin on the finish. Ok enough but overall it’s a bit wheaty.

Avarice from Triple Point Brewing

8.1/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 8.5

Can. Mitchell’s Wines. Hazed orange gold. Suds of white. Triple Points beers haven’t had decent swedes lately. Maybe it’s a by product of the gluten free thing. Anyway. Super fruity peachy notes. Bit of ripe pear. Clean malts. Taste is surprisingly bitter and lightly dry. Drinks well under the ABV. Juicy bitterness to finish. Triple Point do their best work when they do stuff out of the ordinary.

Keller-Märzen from Brauerei-Gasthof Kundmüller (Weiherer)

7.4/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 7.5

Bottle. Mitchell’s Wines. Doesn’t look how I’d expected. Hazed yellow gold. Slim dense lasting semi lacing white foam. A bit wheat beer-esque in appearance. Nose has buttered toast malts. Leafy floral verging on honeyed hop character. Taste is quite bitter with a moderate sweetness. Easy drinking overall. Bitter leafy finish.

Airy Okay from Mills Brewing

8.5/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 8.5 Flavor 9 Texture 9 Overall 8.5

Bottle via the online shop. Not a looker. Dirty ginger colour with not much of a head. Nose is big on the Bordeaux barrel. New suede shoes. Lots of ripe stone fruit. Honey addition comes across like spring flower derived. Juicy on the palate. Juicy tangy finish.
