Garrold Profile

Cask at source. Hazed pale gold. Slim dense lasting lacing white foam. Fruity hop and distinctive yeasty notes. Taste is pretty sweet with pithy bitterness. Easy drinking although this would have benefited pulling through. But you know, what do you expect in the brewery taproom.

Bottle. Waitrose. Clear dark amber. Good solid shiny off white foam. Slightly nutty hedgerow vinous nose. Taste is light sweet and pretty dry. Moderate leafy hop bitterness. Feels a bit stewed overall. Moderate bitterness to finish. Probably one to try on cask in front of a fire getting grannies tartan.

Can via the online shop I believe. Either that or Cole’s Corner. Clear vibrant deep red. Lovely foamy swishy pink head. Nose has blackberry. Blackberry jelly. Bit of lactose. Light woody, stalky notes. Taste is semi sweet, light dry and nicely puckering. Very healthy body with crisp fruity burp inducing carbonation. Semi sweet lightly tart juicy finish. Nice one. Sank it.

Can. Bier Huis Ossett. Birthday gift from the missus. Contains Kiwi apparently, which I’m allergic to, so this was just a taster. Good job I read the label. Hazed slightly mucky gold. Decent lasting white foam. Nose is indeed like a key lime pie. Taste is sweet and semi tart. Nice gentle pucker. Good body. Light tart finish. Nice.

Can. Mitchell’s Wines probably. Not too far off black. Slim wispy beige head. Nose has Jamaica Ginger Cake, funnily enough. Taste is light sweet with a light spicy bitterness. Decent body. Semi sweet spicy finish.
