3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 faroeviking (8805) - HAITI - SEP 4, 2009
Botella. Good fruity pale ale. Hazy deep golden colour, nice white medium head. Fruity hoppy bit piney aroma. Good mouthfeel. The flavour has a good fruitiness, pleasant bitterness, citrus, some sweetness and a nice dry hoppy fruity finish.

belmonge, semolina, and all other slighty nasty things we hated at school but would want to try again to see if they really were that bad. easy drinking city. coffee nose but pale as as an albino painted in white, earl gray, and hints of indian tea fields, milk and two sugars. this would go well with a fry up after a night out on wife beater.

On tap at The Algate Pub, Shibuya. Hazy amber with a small head. fruity hoppiness, some toffee and bitterness kicking in towards the finish. Rather anonymous.

Light. Not very hoppy, nor interesting. Light bitter finish. Not much to say about this beer, so I am writing to take up space.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 KyotoLefty (3752) - Kyoto, JAPAN - JAN 4, 2009
Aroma of dryish amber malts and yeast, earthy, grass. Lighter hops, with pine, and a touch of citrus. Medium copper color with a thin head. Malty flavor, caramel and a bit of fruit. A bit of peppery hops to balance. Definitely malt-focused, yet the malts are not terribly complex. Citrus, peppery hops finish is not very strong but lingers. Interesting, well balanced session beer. Very English in style.

Juicy marmalade snout tanging with citrus, musty European resins, slight sulphur and authentic orange-accented English house yeastiness (Fuller’s?). I’ve got to big this one up, else Dirtman might not suitcase me any more rarities next time he’s over. Faintly misty orange pour, clinging white lid, Tottori lace, fine silky mouthfeel. Mandarin, wood and lingering biscuit. Soft and alkaline. Conditioning dies a bit towards the bottom of the glass, but I’m nitpicking. Aromatic soapy ale constructed with an admirable attention to detail, and some authentic Englishness
