So on Friday night I had a rather hectic night of tasting and reviewing, and I took photos and wrote notes so I would actually remember how I felt about each beer.
This one was just an exclamation mark, but that’s fine. As I remember it vividly.
Nail Beazle Brew
I was first hesitant about getting this seasonal brew from Nail, after the pain of disappointment from the Summer Hoppy Ale was still raw, like a rectal fissure in my soul.
But I decided to give it a go, and held it up to assess the colour. A really, really cloudy-murky golden brown akin to the colour of candied honey. It was super cloudy, I couldn’t even see my friends face through it. Which was a nice bonus as he has quite a rough head.
I went down on it for a nose gander, and got some brilliant citrus-ey and hoppy notes with a pang of guava behind it.
According to the beer label I should have been noticing notes of coffee and choc chip ( This confused me Chocolate I understood, but choc-chip? I think the head of marketing had snorted just a little too much cocaine that day), but I wasn’t getting any of that.
Not that I cared as it smelt rather glorious, considering it looked like murky corpse water.
There was a tang of sourness to it upon tasting, making me think they were going for a bit of a wild ale finish, fruity flavours continued mingled with a nice malty caramel sweetness.
Beer Gud.
7.2/10
Until next time and remember, always drink from a glass.
