Green Beacon – Apricot & Peach Sour. 5% 375ml can.
Nice peach smell and a little sour funk. Its pretty hazy as well, nice head. The taste is mild, there is a hint of apricot, some fermented fruity flavours and a fruity sourness. Nothing crazy. A refreshing sipper. Nice.
Molly Rose Brewing Co – Nitro Persian Coffee, Vegan Desert Stout. 5.2% 375ml can
Awesome coffee smell, like a cup of coffee but also of crushed coffee beans, some dark roasty malts. The coffee smells is fantastic and very fresh smelling, just awesome. The taste and mouthfeel is smooth, theres oats in here giving it a viscocity as well. A really nice big initial hit of coffee, dark and black malt with some bitterness from the malt and also I assume hops. After a few sips theres all kinds of things going on in here, it says cardamon is in there and yeah I guess, I also taste anise/licorice? There’s other stuff I just cant put a thumb on. Cant taste the rosewater or coconut listed, though they drop off pretty fast and this is nearly 2 months old. A great interesting stout even if the additions didn’t shine. This also seems like a rather interesting brewery and brewer, I have one more beer from them now but will def check out more from them.
Molly Rose Brewing Co – When Life Gives you Lemons , Farmhouse Ale. 4.2% 375ml can.
This is, obviously, the other Molly Rose can I have. Straight off the bat its insane lemon into the nose. Its like sherbert, this is crazy. Interesting as hell. NOT a standard farmhouse ale at all. Very fine carbonation, great smooth sourness and mouthfeel. That first crazy lemon scent blast doesn’t follow through into anything overpowering at all. Its crisp, its soft but sharp. This is nice as hell. Not what I was expecting at all.
