scyrene: I don't think it's a bad idea, but the execution needs some work.
scyrene is drinking a Bananalaga by Bute Brew Co at Monkey Barrel Comedy
I was hoping they'd have this - certainly a novelty! Plastic beaker. Clear gold; modest persistent off-white head. Quite strong baked banana aroma. Weird flavour: thin and a bit tangy, more banana but also a chemical bitterness. Oh well.

scyrene is drinking an Urfränkisches Landbier Hell by Privatbrauerei Kesselring at St Patrick Square
From bottle. Vaguest sweet aroma, almost a confected/medicinal nuance. Crisp malty flavour, totally clean and easy, not complex but solid and appealing.

scyrene: Somehow I haven't been here since fringe 2024 😳
scyrene is drinking a Belfry by Abbeydale Brewery at Cask & Barrel Southside
Always novel pales here, I should stop by more often. Half. Somewhat hazy pale gold; thin persistent smoothest ivory(?) head. Faintest fresh fruit aroma, maybe something like green grape. Soft creamy tangy flavour, sweetish biscuit, no bitterness. Nice.

scyrene is drinking a Pilsener by Brauerei VELTINS at Steel Coulson Southside
A surprising novelty. Half. Clear pale gold; moderate persistent white head. Faintest nondescript aroma. Dry biscuit flavour with a bit of hop complexity. Pleasant if a touch austere, especially this chilled.

Draft
Earned the Crisp as Day (Level 35) badge!
Half. Very hazy dull apricot colour (tricky light); thin persistent whitish head. Faint juicy fruit aroma, verging on tropical. Light dry flavour, fairly tangy with a somewhat zesty citrus character.
