Freeminer, Trafalgar India Pale Ale (England) 
Late-hopped with Goldings, and made with Marris Otter malt, this IPA from Freeminer has a medium Gold colour and moderate white head. The nose has a really sharp tang of citrus and almost a whiff of yeasty elastoplast, with plenty of crisp hoppy qualities and just a little malty hint. On the palate it has a mouthfilling weight and texture, with plenty of bitter endive and quinine in an uncompromising hoppy character. This is a live beer, and that hint of yeasty, sharp citrus and leafy quality persists into a long, and really quite complex finish. 6.0% ABV, 50cl, �1.99, Onlyfinebeer. | |
Freeminer, Waterloo (England)
This bottle-conditioned beer pours a dark gold, with a hint of amber and a moderately thick, off-white head. It is quite aromatic, with a cherry and berry fruited nose, a touch of floral character and a glimpse of something meaty. On the palate it is quite a crisply-textured beer, yet there is something chocolaty and deep playing against nice, bitter hops, cloves and a tart lemony acidity. A well-balanced and satisfying beer. 4.5% ABV, 50cl, �1.99, Livingbeer.com, Onlyfinebeer. | |
