09 Mar 2011 (Martin the Mildman)
Just a flying visit on my way to Leicster Beer Festival.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Redemption - Trinity | 3.00 | | Billed as a pale mild, certainly mild in strength, but not in taste with a huge grapefruity citrus hop flavour. There is a good malt base and little bitterness in the flavour so mild it is. My score 16/20. |
| Adnams - Mild | 3.20 | | A smoother, sweeter and more rounded sample here, more as I remember it. Served on gravity. My score 16/20. |

A very busy first lunchtime session. I got there about 11.50 and the queue went round the block into Euston Road. I have only listed the beers I had.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - London Porter | 5.40 | | Sweetish, creamy and tasted strong. |
| Redemption - Pale Ale | 3.80 | | A good session beer but not as hoppy as the notes would suggest. |
| Brodie's (latterly contract brewed by Rhymney) - Citra | 3.10 | | A golden beer that was citrussy hoppy. |
| Brodie's (latterly contract brewed by Rhymney) - Amarilla | 4.20 | | Very citrussy. |
| Camden Town - Camden Pale Ale | 4.50 | | A good pale ale. |
| Toad - The Da Vinci Toad | 5.50 | | Decent flavour for a stronger bitter. |
| Redemption - Hopspur | 4.50 | | Not as much "nose" as the Trinity but more hoppy in the taste. |
| BrewDog - Alpha Dog (Low strength) | 3.80 | | Surprisingly I agreed with some of the programme description. A thick foamy head even on gravity dispense. |
| Redemption - Trinity | 3.00 | | Described as a 3 hop, 3 malt at 3% beer for the festival. Before drinking the glass smelt like walking into an oast house and it was wonderfully hoppy. |
| Bristol Beer Factory - Milk Stout | 4.50 | | Sweetish and creamy. |
| Brodie's (latterly contract brewed by Rhymney) - Brain Wave | 3.10 | | A special charity brew that was 2.9%. I thought it a bit sweet and nothingy. |
| Windsor & Eton - Knight of the Garter | 3.80 | | Pretty average. |
| BlackFriars - Whyte Angel | 4.50 | | A typical English wheat beer. Lacking that something that the German weisse have. |
