Had a t'riffic time in Newcastle with a rather epic Friday night - got to try a whole host of beers I've been looking for, visited a Brewdog bar, had some Tactical Nuclear Penguin, some Sink the Bismark and put away more than my share of Jaegerbombs. I'm actually the Jaegermaster, in case you hear that name getting thrown around.
So tonight I'm on catch-up, even though I'm sure three more beers are the last thing my insides will appreciate. Also I have work in the morning and am deprived sleep as it is. I am nothing but commited to beer advent.
First up.
Great Orme Brewery - Orme
Never heard of the brewer before, picked this one up just because. Now before I move on to reviewing I'd like to add that the volume of beer/scotch/Jaeger consumed this weekend may have dented my palate a little. Or I may have undergone psychological changes and my preferences at the moment could be a little warped.
Looks - A little murky. Head cleared in next to no time and it actually looks a little thin.
Smells - Quite mild, but still enjoyable - sweet and malty with a hint of chocolate.
Tastes - A lot nicer than I expected, it is mild but the body is nice and it's quite crisp. Nice caramel malt flavour.
I think this beer is working for me right now because it's mild, and after so much Belgian beer and lipsmacking IPA it's refreshingly...bland.
6/10
