Dunham Press Cider Altrincham, Greater Manchester

500ml bottle from Cat in the Glass. Golden colour, some short-lived white bubbles on top and aroma of apple, skin & core. Taste is tangy, tart, fleshy apple, some core, citric, and with some acidity. Medium bodied, low carbonation, drying acidic finish. Quite drinkable.

St. Peter's Brewery Bungay, Suffolk

Beautiful bottle tasting notes included. Dark hold clear. Malty nose. Hoppy bitter bite to taste, trad IPA style. A little spicy. Balanced, no citron pressé... Toffee it says, hmmm not sure bout that though. Nice drop. Decent mouthfeel. 50ck from Maruhn Pfungstadt.

Draught. Hazy amber. Candy, milky, artificial peach, sweet and sourish. Not my thing.

Messorem Bracitorium Montréal, Quebec

Poured from the tap @ Messorem. Cloudy yellow with small white head. Citrus hops with mild tropical hops, soft mouthfeel. Enjoyable, but wish there was more Motueka here.

Omnipollo Sundbyberg, Stockholm

Draught. Murky. Like, grapefruit, lacto, zesty, sourish, light bitterish lemon rind note

Second Dawn Brewing Company Aurora, Colorado

10 ounce at the brewery - this one’s an interesting one - the nose really just smell like its namesake ice cream - the approach is all bright strawberry, but then there is some deep chocolate and mild vanilla - these qualities dissipate on the tail end as it finishes like a lightly roasty imperial stout - watery finish - meh.

Messorem Bracitorium Montréal, Quebec

Poured from the tap @ Messorem. Clear blonde gold with full white head. Clean pils malt with saaz hops, quite authentic, hits all the checkboxes. Good stuff.

Beerium Kraftölsbryggeri Surte, Västra Götaland

--Canned, from Systembolaget. -- Hazy golden, small head. Aroma of guava and sweaty papaya. Sweet with medium body and rounded mouthfeel. Fruity and porridgy and grapes, dank citrus and guava. Mid bitter finish.

Zalaz Paraisópolis, Minas Gerais

"Safra 2020" (Vintage 2020). On tap at Tap Tap Bar, pours black with a small beige head. Aroma hints at an infection… tart fruits, ugh. Flavour is completely sour — this is mega-infected, just fucking awful. Maybe this was good a few years ago. Now, this shouldn’t be sold.

Amundsen Bryggeri Oslo, Oslo

9/5/2024. Draft at Bootleggers Craft Beer Bar - Bryggen, Copenhagen. Pours close to black with a small short lasting tan coloured head. Aroma is just as advertised, just like drinking the Brunost Mia brought us from Stavanger and few months ago and told us to eat with raspberry jam. Sweet and delicious. Full body, sticky and smooth, very low carbonation. Super.

Hankzbier Juiz de Fora, Minas Gerais

On tap at Tap Tap Bar, pours black with a medium tan head. Aroma is rich, with lots of dark sugars, liquefied rum cake, and a hint of roast. Flavour is very sweet and pastryrific, with tons of rum cake and sugars. They sure have the flavour nailed down well, but it’s still a bit sweet for me and rather simplistic. Good.

Amundsen Bryggeri Oslo, Oslo

Tap @ Bootleggers, Islands Brygge. Nice head with good duration. Color is black. Aroma and taste are rich roast malt, raspberries, caramel, cheese, hops and has a sweet caramel, raspberry finish.

Messorem Bracitorium Montréal, Quebec

Poured from the tap @ Messorem. Opaque pepto bismol pink with white ring as a head. Peach and lemon with feint mango, hint of salt, creamy. Enjoyable novelty beer. Have to raise the overall to make up for how bad it looks...
