Fool Hardy Ales

The aroma is fruity,solid and very sweet. So sweet it feels like haribo. The taste is weirdly cakey but broadly plumy. Everything is up-front and solid but nothing lingers. This is a crowd-pleasingly big beer but, probably, lacks complexity.

Do we need another plum porter ? In fairness I chose it so can only judge it’s quality (it’s good and it’s plummy) but does every pub that won’t sell Titanic have to brew its own. Maybe that’s the highest compliment ? But more plum than porter ..

S’OK

Had this before. There’s still a full on hop spice character, with a slightly pithy finish. Smooth and worryingly smashable for a 5% ABV brew.

Just too sweet for my tastes. It’s definitely not bad, but there’s a dominant, slightly citric sweetness that just overpowers anything else that might be there.

At the Brew Pub. Cask. Nose soft citrus, dab of grapefruit. Taste of soft citrus zest, dab of grapefruit, pale malt, good flavour. Light to medium body, good texture for abv, slightly powdery texture. Finish a bit dry, soft zest

Apt for a pandemic. Pretty solid bitter
