JorisPPattyn (14322) - Wilrijk, BELGIUM - JUL 12, 2020UPDATED: JUL 12, 2020 Part 2of the great Zenne Y Frontera tasting. Descriptions limited to the differences.
All batches same colour, save for Solera (Batch 2): No head, peachy-orange veiled beer. Way sharper nose, gooseberry, bit of acetic acid. Taste is sweeter, somewhat I malser /I , unripe peach flavour. Sharp MF, acidthinning and a lot of acidburn. Better carbonated than #3.
Garrold (10691) - Sheffield, South Yorkshire, ENGLAND - JUN 19, 2020UPDATED: JUN 19, 2020 Bottle. 3F online. Who’d have thunk it? Pours a hazed, copper gold. Fine white head is fully lasting, and semi lacing. Sat in a Zenne glass, it looks the business. Nose has dried peel. Wood shavings. Dried, floral herb. Suede. Soft, musty funk. Caramelised nuts. It smells like being sat at 3F, really. Taste is tart, and a little dry, with soft, nutty sweetness. Definitely some fruity bitterness here. It’s all there, and really well balanced. Some sharpness on the palate. Stays smooth and fairly rich. Bright carbonation. Tart and sharp fruit on the finish, with the sherry nuttiness keeping it all in check. Beautiful.
