Beer | Brewery | ABV (%) | Comments | Score:/10 |
---|
Blonde | Daleside | 3.90 | Pale and golden beer with the usual blend of hops and malt in both aroma and aftertaste. The latter quickly dies. Good, but unexceptional. | 7.0 |
Spring Frenzy | Daleside Brewery | 3.40 | Light, touch above bland, but without bite. Mellow cream on mouth. | 7.0 |
Dry Cider | Dan y Graig | 6.00 | Dry cider with apple bite, but overall furry mouthfeel (even early on) makes it non-session. Have a half. | 6.0 |
Winter Meltdown | Dark Star | 5.00 | Ginger tang not unlike Thai curry. Holds well. Mild caramel aftertaste on tongue | 7.0 |
Old Wallop | Davy's | 4.80 | Malty, light co2, but rich beer similar to Directors or Speckled Hen | 7.5 |
Hel;lekapelle | De Bie | 5.00 | Golden blond, very light taste, with extra kick in aftertaste. | 6.5 |
Dulle Teve, Triple | De Dolle | 10.00 | "Mad Bitch" Musky amber, thin head, non-sour geuze. Evolving taste. | 7.0 |
Ara bier | De dolle brouwers | 8.00 | Golden haze with big head. Fizzy with tart apple tastes, but largesse in dryness and tart aftertaste which lingers for too long imo. | 7.0 |
De Graal Tripel | De Graal Brewery | 9.00 | Full, rounded and smooth. Malty aftertaste. | 7.0 |
La Trappe Dubbel | De Koningshoeven Brewery | 7.00 | Dark ruby red, light foamy head, slightly yeast aroma and continuing flavour. Yeast can be piercing in places. | 7.5 |
La Trappe Blonde | De Koningshoeven Brewery | 6.50 | Light, zesty, and bold. Fresh and fruity. Golden in colour, lightly hopped. Elements of apples and pears, and slight citrus follow through. Slightly too much co2 | 7.0 |
La Trappe Triple | De Koningshoeven Brewery | 8.00 | Dark blonde. Full, fruity bittersweet beer. Caramel sweet mouthfeel, bitter on back, comes and holds in aftertaste. | 7.0 |
La Trappe Witte | De Koningshoeven Brewery | 5.50 | Fresh smell, hints of mild German blond beers. Slightly cloudy white, making it more akin to German wheat, than Dutch wheat beers. e.g Hoegaarden. Aftertaste disspates quickly. Only trappist wheat beer. | 7.0 |
Op & Top | De Molen | 4.50 | Dutch hoppy beer. Trying to be too clever, and turns out like every other hoppy 'artisan' beer | 7.5 |
Boerken | De Proefbrouwerij | 9.50 | Dark ruby red with fullsome head. Good aroma, nice solid bitterness & extra layer of port as it hits the throat. Flavour dissipates with food. | 7.0 |
Angel | Delhaize (contracted) | 8.50 | Golden colour with soft white foam head. Bright aroma with esters. Solid m/f and taste despite looking like pils. Slight bitter a/t. Not unpleasant, but lacking positive quality as _something_ is not fitting (pos sugar) | 7.0 |
Pink Killer | DeSilly | 4.70 | Citrisy (grapefruit) blonde, refreshing. Good for long hot summer days, or to lighten the pallet after a brown. | 7.0 |
Chapeau Lemon | DeTroch | 3.50 | Amber beer, competing lemon and bitter. | 9.0 |
Diebels Alt | Diebels | 4.80 | Dark amber brown beer, butn t light iaste with malt and bitterness. Rolls across tongue nicely. | 7.0 |
Dinkelacker | Dinkelacker | 0.00 | Translucent col colour, light on fizz, almost (store branded) cola taste - including of fizz. But with soft malt over tongue. Too straight a drink to be beer, but tasty as a soft malt drink. | 7.0 |
Canada | Dominion | 4.00 | A dark amber beer that lacks any notes of distinction. But it's from Essex, so can't be given any lower than 5. | 5.0 |
Smokestack Lightnin' | Dorking | 4.00 | Quite fizzy, but rounded and wort-like but without sweetness. Claims smoke, but not rauchen. | 6.5 |
Dreher Pils | Dreher | 5.20 | Clean crisp, pils, with a full head. From Hungary's oldest brewery. | 6.0 |
Waterloo Double | Du Bocq | 8.50 | Brown and ruby colour, but straight brown taste. Slight fruit materializes on the back of the palet after a few seconds. | 7.5 |
Waterloo Blone | Du Bocq | 7.50 | Fairly smooth, aftertaste of Co2, but otherwise non-descript fizziness, and average blone taste | 6.0 |
Bush Amber | Duboission | 12.00 | Strong beer, despite the colour. Bitter sweet with strong firmness. | 9.5 |
Peche Mel Bush | Duboission | 8.50 | Very peach smell. Bush-style solidity. Very obviously Bush, but has fighting tastes. 10 seconds into aftertaste get pungent mouth. | 7.0 |
Smithwick | Dundalk (Diageo) | 3.80 | Light cream tongue, with fizz. But nothing else special enough to write about | 6.0 |
Temptation | Durham Brewery | 10.00 | A Russian stout with black body, cola-like head, with brown scintilating head rounded bitterness with soft chocolate malts, hints of burnt coffee and licorice. | 8.0 |
