Gentse Gruut Blond

Appearance

Light straw gold head disappear quickly

Aroma

Biscuit malt with floral hop overtones

Taste

Like a mix of an English bitter and a tripped, sweet malt is keep in check by the bitter hops at the same point the carbonation comes in. The finish is dryish and like like roasted peanuts, odd.

Overall

Nice beer I will drink this more often 8/10

Lindemans Cuvee Rene

Today's offering is a gueuze lambic

Appearance

Light gold no head but carbonation is present

Aroma

Wet hay with a touch of floral hops

Taste

The malt and hops starts then the acidic nature you expect hits you with a fizz of carbonation. The finish is bone dry and bitter.

Overall

I have grown to like this style but I have not enough experience to judge but this is nice in my eyes.

7/10

Coopers Extra Strong Vintage Ale

Today beer is australian trying to prove not all their beer is an April fool's joke

Appearance

Mid chestnut with small off white head

Aroma

Yeasty is a good way with vinous fruits and touch of chocolate

Taste

vinous fruits with a sweet edge like a dubbel, with nice carbonation, which fade as bitter hops come in.  The finish is warming strongly bitter with still a touch a sweetness for balance.

Overall

Nice different beer not special but nice change.

7/10
