Humpty Dumpty Norfolk Nectar, 4.6%
The Humpty Dumpty brewery based in Reedham, Norfolk which
must be handy for them to get their bottles to Beers of Europe which is where I
got this bottle from. The Norfolk Nectar has a good frothy head, an aroma of
lemon and vanilla hops on the nose, it has a bitter floral taste with a
refreshing mid bitter finish, I quite enjoyed this, 7/10.
Emma Says: 'nondescript beer'
Butts Coper Organic, 6.0%
A totally organic operation the Butts Brewery can be found
in Berkshire and have a rather nice bottle design on this ale I think, maybe I’m
just a sucker for a picture of a Coper (which is ‘a ship employed in
surreptitiously supplying strong drink to deep sea fishermen’ according to the
bottle). This dark chestnut coloured ale has toffee and Christmas pudding aromas;
the ale has a smooth texture, a start with a sweet malt taste and develops into
bitter with a lasting finish, very nice indeed, 7.75/10.
Emma Says: 'toffee with an awful bitter finish'
Fyne Ales Maverick, 4.2%
Fyne Ales are based in Scotland and the water used for the
ales is sourced from a burn above the brewery. The Maverick is labelled as a
dark robust bitter ale, sadly I didn’t enjoy it. The smell was of
coffee and a burnt ash, the taste was a musty malt and bread, it just didn’t
have much going for it unfortunately apart from the head, 4.5/10.
Emma Says: 'biscuitee, coffee, soil'
