Lindemands Apple (13/20)
Lager-like in appearance. Big fluffy head early but it breaks up quickly. Nose is much better than expected, I was of course anticipating masses of sweet confectionary apple juice however whilst the obvious juicy apple note is apparent there’s an underlying sour / lambic tone....gives me hope. Palate is similar is that flavours are all about sweet concentrated juice early but these fade in favour of a mild stinky and sour lambic note. Don’t get me wrong, this is no hardcore Cantillon lookalike but it gives the beer a note of credibility.
2m Tall Huon Dark Ale (10/12)
Massive fizzy head, coffee coloured, not bad density as it settles down. Can’t get my head around the bouquet; very mild roast, a touch musty (apple juice impact?) and stale, the latter note I can’t quite work out as the beer is fresh. Quite mildly flavoured; the dark ale / porter roast and chocolate is more prominant and the citrus tang from the apple kicks in late, but does lift the palate somewhat. Notwithstanding, I may not have picked this as apple juice had I not known its presence was in the mix. Apple makes a stronger impact as the beer warms up.
2m Tall Cleansing Ale (11/20)
Big fluffy white head early but settles quickly to leave a slightly creamy thin residue. Aromas comprise faint notes of citrus and apple, underpinned with a spicy note. Palate takes a while to get going and is certainly a bit too low key for my liking early, but the nettles, hops and bitterness progressively grows. Never really hits the level to get one excited but the medium strengh finish is persistent and qutie classy.
