Nail Beazle Brew

Standard

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.

Feral PHunking Fresh

Standard

I do not like this Beer, infact I hate it, and the internet has told me I am wrong for this.

In fact a few people who’s opinion I respect have told me I am actually a complete idiot and should shut the hell up.

Feral Brewing PHunking Fresh
Coming in at 6.5% this American style Wild Ale appears pretty cloudy and unfiltered and looks like its been poured from a shoe that someone managed to run three marathons in, before vomiting into it.

And smells like it too.

At first sip it’s actually.. not that bad. Rough with some cider and pineapple notes trying to force their way up through the overpowering taste OF WILD YEAST.

About halfway through the Pint, I decided it was average as that yeastiness kept growing on me and felt like I was drinking liquid blue cheese through a sock belonging to Scott of the Antarctic( Post frostbite)

Three Quarters of the way through I actually felt ill, I was contemplating not actually finishing it. ( A cardinal Sin)

2.3/10

But remember, I am apparently wrong, and what do I know anyway?

Until next time, and remember. Always drink from a glass.

Feral WaterMelon Warhead

Standard

I am biased, this is one of my favourites. mainly because of its complete and utter determination to polarise any who drink it. You either Love it, and wish there was a way you could possibly pro-create with it, or Hate it and are currently sitting in an Emergency Department after trying to remove the memory of the taste with a backyard lobotomy.

The Feral WaterMelon Warhead

Bam. Yeah you really weren’t expecting that. A huge face puckering sour note that lies in ambush after a nice sweet fruity nose.

You’ve been Warhead-ed.

A fantastic light, and I mean light coming at a tiny 2.9% ( Which is great when you just want to session) this is a perfect sour summer number. Be warned however you may strongly dislike it, The Warhead is a double edged sword, and it cuts both ways.

8.1/10

Until next time, and remember. Always drink from a glass.
