At my local higher class watering hole I ask what beer they have. Of course I’m greeted by the all to familiar answer from a bartender who doesn’t know that there is even a difference between a lager and and ale, "we have pretty much everything". After striking out on my requests for Hop Devil, 60min IPA and Flying Fish I just told her to give me something obscure...and a DAB it was. Pour out clear straw and was kept way too cold, it was the temperature that Coors likes to convince people to drink their beer at to hide the taste. After letting it warm, the aroma is of sweet sticky malts and bread. Taste has some hop in it, but was heavily leaning towards malts, nothing impressive

500ml can. Poured too cold and this will taste awful. The aroma’s there if the head’s tall and I stick my nose almost right in it: faint butter and bread. Sweet flavour, very light. Fresher takes on this, I imagine would be much better.

This clear yellow beer poured with a massive white head and a standard cheap lager aroma. There is a light funky malt flavor with a bit of lemon (I guess that’t the hops).

Pours golden with a decent white head. Aroma is mainly malty with some hops and skunky green bottle aroma. Taste is mainly malt but with a nice amount of hops to balance it out. Not a bad dortmunder.

From World Beers box, this poured a clear golden color, with a fat white head and good lacing. Nose of malts and some grassy hops. Medium mouthfeel. Flavor is of light malts. Not much finish. Easy to drink however.

Can, Oddbins Inverness. I find this beer to be a easy going beer, and generally good value. Although 5%abv, you wouldn’t know it by taste.

Clear golden pour under a good inch and a half of white bubbly head. Scent of hops right from the table. Noisy head, I can hear is popping and fizzing. Stronger malty scent when brought to the nose. A slight scent of vegitable. Watery taste, with some hops and a slight touch of malt but not much else. Much more in the nose then the mouth.
