Hey Everyone, Apologies for no posting in the last couple of day's its been mad busy, but were back. Tonight's review is from the Crew Alewerkstatt, Hope you all enjoy !!!

Beer Name:
Crew Pale Ale

Brewery:
Crew AleWerkstatt

Brewed and Bottled:

Fraunhoferstraße 9,
80469,
München,
Germany

Alcoholic Percentage:

5.6% Vol

Measure:

330ml

Taste:

Slight Bitter, Hops, Refreshing, Smooth, Light.

Colour:

Golden / Amber, Cloudy

Odour:

Strong Hops, Citrus

General Thoughts:

Crew Pale Ale is a smooth, light, refreshing beer with slight hops flavours. There is a slight bitterness to this beer, however this is balanced out with a slight sweetness, making this an easy drinking beer. This beer isn't as strong as other pale ales out there, the hops flavour isn't as prominent in this beer as in others, which is a shame as I really like a stronger hops flavour to a beer, therefore this beer is slightly lacking there. Crew Pale Ale has a medium carbonation, giving it that nice coating on the tongue and refreshing quality. There is also a slight cloudiness to this beer. There is also a slight citrus flavour to this beer, coming from the hops used in the beer. Overall Crew Pale Ale wasn't what I was expecting, especially after trying and reviewing the Crew IPA which is really fantastic, don't get me wrong this is a nice beer, easy drinking and nice flavoured, it just didn't pack as much of a punch as I was hoping for in a Pale Ale. This is a pleasant beer, one that you could drink many of, however it just doesn't stand out for me, but I would recommend people give it a try and I would buy it again. 

Price:

€2.50 - €3.50 (Based on Average Price)

General Thoughts:

Crew IPA is an absolutely fantastic beer, with its deep, full flavours and high hop content. This is a beer that has a strong hops flavour, bringing with it a great bitterness, however this beer is not overly bitter and has a slight sweetness to balance it out. The flavour of this beer is not overpowering at all, its just bursting with character and flavour. There is also a slight citrus note to this beer, which helps to give it that refreshing quality that is a great attribute in my eyes for a beer. Crew IPA is a really smooth beer, with little carbonation. If you are a lover of IPA's or other strong hopped beers then this would definitely be a beer that I would recommend to you.  This is a seriously good beer, packed full of rich, deep flavours. There is also a slight bitter after taste to this beer, which gives it a moreish quality, making you want to go back for more and more. I cannot recommend this beer highly enough, on the whole a really fantastic beer, bursting with flavour. This is definitely one to try, so get out there and buy yourself one, I promise you won't be disappointed.

Erdinger Dünkel

Hey Everyone, Today's beer is all the way from Germany, from the Erdinger Brewery. Hope you all enjoy !!!

Beer Name:
Erdinger Dünkel

Brewery:

Erdinger Weißbräu

Brewed and Bottled:
Franz-Brombach-Str. 1-20
85435 Erding
Germany







Alcoholic Percentage:

5.3% Vol

Measure:

500ml

Taste:

Slight Bitter, Roasted, Slight Sweetness, Smooth

Colour:

Black

Odour:

Slight Coffee, Slight Malt, Slight Chocolate

General Thoughts:

Erdinger Dünkel is a brilliant beer, deep full flavours. This beer has a deep roasted malt taste, with hints of slight coffee and chocolate. This beer starts off with a bitter note, which slowly moves across the tongue and develops into a nice sweetness. This is also a really smooth beer, with very little carbonation, making it a easy drinking beer. Erdinger Dünkel is also a very refreshing beer, that has a moreish quality to it, making you want to go back for more and more, which to me is a great quality in a beer. This is also a bottle conditioned wheat beer, so there will be a slight sediment in the bottom of the bottle. This is a really delicious beer, that I would highly recommend to anyone that enjoys a deep, full flavoured beer, with a moreish, warming quality to it. I really enjoyed this beer and would recommend people give it a try.
