I'm gutted now: I was at a German Beer House themed pub a couple of days ago and they had this on the menu, but they'd run out of it, so I had to settle for the Schneider Weisse instead (still a good beer mind you but I would have liked to try something new).

It's worth tracking down bud. HOTM still had it showing in stock when I checked earlier today :). Cheers! I'm sure I've tried the Scheider Weisse before at some point, I'll check.

I hated this one tbh. It tastes way too much of clove. Edit: apparently they changed leffe a year ago and that’s why I remember the alcohol version being good a few years ago but this being shit

Fair play bud, can't win em all :). They did indeed change the leaded version, dropped the ABV, but apparently it's the old recipe in Europe still.

Dark with a mahogany color and beige foam that slowly falls. The aroma and taste are dominated by notes of roasted malt, caramel, foam, dark chocolate, cocoa and vanilla. In the background, subtle notes of lactose and milk chocolate. Saturation in the lower regions, moderate sweetness.

For me aroma is promising with a sweet mix of citrus and exotic light skin fruits - pomelo? Taste is bland and dissapointing, grapefruit albido bitterness diluted with mineral water. If flavor could be like aroma it would be OK.

Cloudy with a yellow color and white, exuberant foam. Sweet tropical fruits dominate, with mango and passion fruit at the forefront, pine accents. A bit of resin, grass, leaves, grain. Citrus not very active. Medium carbonation, bitterness in the lower regions. Pleasant, resinous.

Golden color, clear, white foam, medium abundant, medium durability. Malty, wort-like in aroma. Malty, sweetish in taste. Low bitterness, medium carbonation, leaves a feeling of wort and corn, watery body. A sipper without any alcohol. Nothing special. Without flaws or merits.

I think it's a pretty decent ale, has a fruity noise, a mild malty and fruity taste, i wouldn't pour it and get a head on it like that. The second pour is the head you should drink it with.

Good question bud! For me, it'd be: Mash Gang Stoop Extra Dry Mash Gang Hold Fast Asahi Extra Dry 0.0 Jump Ship Yardarm Drop Bear New World Lager It's a saturated section of the AF market IMHO (along with IPA's). It's hard to find a truly bad one, but those five I mentioned are my go to lagers without a doubt (however, sadly Hold Fast was a one and done unless Mash Gang decide to rebrew). Cheers mucka!

I have not bud to be fair. I don't sample much in the way of cider nowadays as my formative years drinking 3L bottles of White Lightning and the like in Dartford Park have traumatised me enough :D Is it anything like the bottled stuff, which didn't taste like it had seen an apple in it's life (much like the aforementioned White Lightning)? Can't knock him for the breadth of ales he puts on, and the prices are tough to beat too.

First Mash Gang beer I had. Loved it. Lots of reviews saying it's drainpour and too bitter. Found the bitterness to be something like Arrogant Bastard Ale but not as overpowering. Maybe too many people have been on the juicy IPA train too long. The bitterness subsides after a couple of sips then the dankness kicks in heavily similar to Stone IPA. Wonderful beer and sad it's no longer available as Mash Gang appears to only brew in irregular small batches.
@AllHailTheAleАй бұрын
That's the only down side for many breweries, particularly craft brewers, small batch size and not so regular repetition. I would have bought this by the barrel if I could. Cheers matey!

I really like this one. It appeared in a mixed box I'd randomly ordered. However when I looked to source a few more I found it was sold out in most places, one with an ominous message that the next batch wasn't expected until 2025. I trolled the internet and found a place in Scotland with 16 cans left. They don't have them now ;) I find one of these in the evening and I sleep like a baby. Psychological? Who knows. Great review as always!
