Discovery Ales Reviews

Ober	1.4 Discovery Captain Cook Cask @ 2nd Saltburn Beer Festival. A clear red/brown colored beer, with a light beige head. The is very unpleasant, it stinks. The taste has some weak fruit, with some sweet and some bitter. The aftertaste is a little sweet moving too a little bitter. Wednesday, November 23, 2011
DJMonarch	3 Discovery Eureka Cask Stillage at the Victoria Leisure Centre, Nottingham Beer Festival 18/10/2007 Some hop aroma. Amber coloured and smooth on the palate with a crisp and bitter slightly dry malt finish. Sunday, July 12, 2009
imdownthepub	3 Discovery Daveys Glow Cask conditioned at The Anchor, Birmingham. Gold with white head. Fairly underwhelming golden beer, some greenish hop on a standard dry, biscuity body. Nothing too exciting really. Sunday, December 21, 2008
DruncanVeasey	2 Discovery Great Scott Festival special, Solihull ’08. Dark ruby still as water. Cheese, alcohol and watery liquorice aroma. Aniseed, distant soggy cake (almond), light roasted malts. Feels thin and unfinished. Not sure what this was all about. Attempted porter? Needs work, but the base of a decent beer is there. Thursday, October 9, 2008
imdownthepub	2.6 Discovery Newtons Cream Cask conditioned at Harbury Beer Fest ’08. Pale gold with light head. Sweetish beer, I wrote in my notes ’something of nothing’ which fairly sums it up. Listless, flat beer with little character. Sunday, August 31, 2008
MesandSim	2.6 Discovery Newtons Cream A Mes rate: Gravicask at Coventry Beer Festival. Golden brown with no head. Tobacco and malt aroma. Fatty and oily flavour. A bit of malt, a bit of hop. Dull and uninspiring. Monday, April 21, 2008
MesandSim	3 Discovery Lightning Frank A Mes rate: Gravicask at Coventry Beer Festival. Pale gold with no head but it was pretty much the end of the cask. Tobacco, biscuity malt and some reasonable grassy hoppage. Not much happening really. Monday, April 21, 2008
MesandSim	3.2 Discovery Darwins Delight A Mes rate: Gravicask at Coventry Beer Festival. Copper colour with not much going on in the head department. Striaght forward fruity aroma. Glen says kiwi, persoanlly I got full on bakewell tart. Funny how these things work out. A straight forward but solid bitter made with added cherry bakewell. :) Sunday, April 20, 2008
maeib	2.7 Discovery Lightning Frank Cask conditioned - gravity dispense - Coventry BF. An amber coloured beer with a malty fruit berry aroma. The taste is dry and fruity. A short finish and a hint of musty fart late on. Thursday, April 17, 2008
imdownthepub	3.2 Discovery Darwins Delight Cask conditioned at Coventry Beer Festival ’08. Copper coloured with light head. Pretty standard malty session beer, maybe a hint of fruitiness, I wrote Kiwi fruit which brought some glee to the proceedings. Dry bitter finish, just average. Sunday, April 13, 2008
DruncanVeasey	2.1 Discovery Lightning Frank Cask, Covfest ’08. Described by the festival as a ’pale ale’, but nothing of the sort. Tawny, still, lifeless. Some really off-putting vegetal/cardboard/woody notes. All malt and no hops. Needs some work. The worst beer I had at the festival by some distance. Saturday, April 12, 2008
fonefan	3.1 Discovery Newtons Cream Cask (handpump) @ Wellington, Birmingham B2, UK. Clear medium yellow orange color with a average, frothy, fair lacing, mostly lasting, off-white head. Aroma is light to moderate malty and yeasty, toffee, butter. Flavor is moderate sweet and light bitter with a average duration. Body is medium to light, texture is oily to watery, carbonation is soft to flat. (140108) Monday, February 4, 2008
imdownthepub	3.3 Discovery Captain Cook Cask conditioned at The Wellington, Birmingham. Brown amber with white head. Average darker Premium Bitter, dry and hoppy with a fuller maltiness, but a little overboiled in taste. A little like boiled cabbage in the background, but reasonable enough. Never thought I would get a beer from the place I was born, Meriden. Sunday, November 25, 2007
harrisoni	2.4 Discovery Eureka Cask gravity at Nottingham BF 2007. Deep copper colour with disappearing bubbly beige head. Farty yeasty aroma. Sickly, syrupy malt in mouth. This new brewery needs to pick up its standards on this sample. Yeasty, walnuty bitter. Sunday, October 21, 2007
