Thorogoods Dry Scrumpy (11/20)
Dry zero bubbles style, and, Aarleks rightly observes, perhaps more wine in style than cider. Clear medium gold and of course no head. Quite grapey to smell and the apple content is much more obvious than the other Thorogood ciders I have tried. Some alcohol heat / vapour evident as well. More apple early in the mouth, quite acidic as well (at least early) before sour dry notes kick in (and acid) along with kero like alcohol. To quote others, "Not bad, but not great."
Tappeto Volante (6/20)
What can I say? Another boring euro / pale lager. Bog standard appearance; golden amber and no head. Sweet corny nose; I’d be surprised if there’s much malt here. Thin fizzy palate with more corn / adjunct notes, broadens on the finish with slightly stale notes. I was going to pose the question "why does Australia have to be an export destination for every shitty pale lager ever maded" but I see plenty on ratebeer.com have beaten me to it!
Veltins Pilsner (12/20)
Dead simple beer but one that held quite a bit of appeal. No surprises in terms on appearance and bouquet; classic medium gold in colour, thin head, and old fashion some hoppy nose with daggy malts. Sharper to taste with the hop component clearly more assertive. Gets progressively drier and bitter as the beer travels through the palate. A great gardening beer for summer.
