Jever (pronounced Yeh-vah) is world classic extra dry pilsener. The aroma is resiny hops and booming malt leading to a beer with a typical pure white head and just the right amount of carbonation. Bouncingly fresh, but dry from the high hop rate though still with plenty of mouth feel. It continues through to a refreshing, dry hoppy finish. The official description from their web site as follows: Unique in taste. The secret lies in the water, which is still …
First of a series of reviews to let you know what goodies we have in our bottle fridge. This review is straight from the BrewDog website… Welcome to a post Punk apocalyptic mother of an ale. A beer that spent its formative years Blitzkrieg Bopping around India and the sub-continent. This light, golden classic has been subverted with new world hops to create a devastating explosion of flavour. Steel yourself for Kalashnikov bursts of caramel, incendiary tropical fruit and an …
Just stumbled across a fantastic mention for Just Beer on the Hughes Consultancy website which was written by a chap after his visit in June 2012. You can view the original article here Travelling on a rather long train journey between Inverness and Newark in Nottinghamshire this week, I pondered the topic for this month’s comment as I gazed out the window on a landscape which progressively changed from mountain to flat field. I reached my destination in Newark some …
A rather nice review appeared a couple of days ago on one of the beer groups, proof that the festival has quite a draw and entices discerning drinkers to travel some distance to visit the fest and bring money to the town. It is reproduced here in a slightly edited version (just to correct some spelling and grammar). After enjoying the views from the train of snowy scenery all the way across Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire, I arrived in Nottingham with …
The recent BeerMuda Triangle beer fest gets the stamp of approval from ‘Nottsbrew‘ – Nottinghamshire’s independent real ale blog. Of Just Beer they wrote: …”the whole place just oozes simple real ale geekery, its brutal simplicity made it exceptionally easy to work out why this had won Newark CAMRA Pub of the Year”. …”Just Beer is literally the next level, an ale drinkers paradise”. …”it was refreshing to see such an unusual and eclectic mix of beers from all over …
The Tapsters have just clamped mitts on the new 2012 edition of the CAMRA Good Beer Guide… and we’re in it! We are over the moon at being awarded this accolade in our first year and would like to extend a massive thank you to all those who those who voted for us, monitored, surveyed and ultimately selected us for inclusion into the Guide. We realise we were competing with some very stiff competition this year so it has made …
An excellent new way of describing a beer’s characteristics based on a visual clue came to our attention recently. PintPicker.co.uk have devised a new and simple way of describing a beer graphically, using six basic characteristics – Bitter, Hoppy, Citrus, Sweet, Burnt and Winey (not sure about that one – should it be ‘fruity’?) on a scale of 0-5, then joining the points on a taste ‘wheel’ to give a graphic shape of the beer’s taste. Filling the shape with …
