    Both poor beers imo but one at least is a shadow of a once decent beer ruined by big owners cutting corners the other has been built from the ground up as a cynical attempt to grab sales and has never even tried to be good.

    I first had Doom Bar on draught over 30 years ago at the lovely old Quayside Inn in Falmouth and thought it was superb. Its decline over those passing years is sad but just so very typical of so many once great UK beers. I don't drink anything by Brewdog on principle so I'm glad it's bloody awful.

    You should maybe do a live blind test to see if you get the same results

    Really surprised the Shore Leave went down so badly. I had this on tap in Brewdog Dublin a few weeks ago and thought it was a superb pint; to the extent I even tried to search out an all grain clone (which they up until recently were happy to provide) and could have quite happily had several more if I wasn't flying later that day.
    I am in no way a Brewdog fanboy but I guess the water source (even profiled) or a bottle makes all the difference.

      @@EdwardF83 I doubt he's a qualified taster. It's easy doing them if you have a partner, harder on your own. You need stickers. You have to wear sunglasses so you can't see the colour of the beers. Identical glasses. You need to close your eyes to do a shuffle and then start tasting. A lot more effort than pleading innocence, opening a bottle, pouring into a random glass and spouting catchphrases. Would it buy more hits / subscribers?

    Shore Leave is far from awful. I’ve bought a few times (cans) when I’ve seen it on offer. Surprised it repulsed you that much. I really didn’t get any of the tinny metallic notes you were picking up. Funky batch you bought maybe?

      @tweez7817 Před 8 měsíci +1

      OK, so I’ve come back to my comment as I bought 4 cans over the weekend and they were rank. I’m convinced they’ve changed the recipe as I don’t recall it tasting like this when they first hit the shelves. But these were deeply unpleasant. So I’m kinda agreeing with Simon on this now. Vile, to be honest.

    I really like the Shore Leave to be honest..... it has a nice old fashioned beer taste that you don't get anymore. Nice full bodied with a nice yeasty finish which you don't get anymore in beers... It's an excellent well produced easy drinking beer... probably wouldn't need more than two or three because it would soon get a bit dull.

    I've given you a bit of a hard time about your Brewdog reviews but I tried Shore Leave the other day and was astonished by it, and not in a good way. It is a bit like McDonalds, everything from the Big Mac to the Apple Pie somehow tastes the same which is pretty amazing when you think about it and this 'Amber Ale' has the absolute same undertones as Punk or Elvis Juice, that distinct Brewdog 'twang'. Odd beer. I finished it but will not be picking it up again.

    Brewdog's (allegedly) Amber Ale, specifically designed (to the American style) for people who don't like Amber Bitter. I suspect this will appeal to people who think beer should be served cold, which is supported by its grapefruit flavours. Not for me, but if you're a lager drinker looking for an ice cold amber(ish) beer, this could be right for you.

    Doombar is pleasant enough just bland but good on tap though. As for this Brewdog I couldn't comment having not tried it. I can imagine this being a bit like their attempt to take on Guinness with Black heart. I tried it once and went straight back to Guinness it had more flavour just wasn't very good in my opinion. I feel they kinda missed the point a little. No one buys Guinness because its a great stout and yet it has that easy drinking uniqueness many people enjoy.
