renffisch (461), london, Greater London, England Sep 23, 2008 bottle with ethereal. smells like walking into a hop-fest at a hospital. very very medicinal but not in a bad way. ambercolour, no head. Flavours similar to nose: dettol, hansaplast, flowers (for the nurse...), sharp, clear hops. a bit of BDSM for your tastebuds...
MesandSim (4623), Highgate, Greater London, England Apr 30, 2008 <i>A Mes rate: bottle at Chris O’s Ha Ha Ha Ha Gimme the Cheese Tasting.</i><br />Flat amber. Badly bottled and pretty much out of order. I didn’t find it quite so offensive as the others but it’s clearly infected. thewolf (4156), Kolding, Denmark Apr 22, 2008 Bottle @ Chris o.<br />
Pours amber with next-to-no head. Aroma is very soapy - very unpleasant. Clearly infected - must try again, when the issues are settled. Ethereal (927), London, Greater London, England Apr 18, 2008 Bottle purchased from the brewery, drunk with renffisch on 18th March 2008. Pours a dark amber with relatively little carbonation. The Brambling Cross hops give the beer a wonderful, ultra-medicinal aroma and flavour that makes it instantly recognisable. The palate is smooth and I’m really regretting only buying a half dozen bottles. I think I may have to add to this rate once I’ve drunk a few more :)
