Albion’s Arctic Ale presents an enticing appearance but could benefit from better head formation. Its aroma is complex yet lacks harmony, a tension mirrored in the distinct but uncohesive flavour. While the pleasant mouthfeel and well-hidden alcohol are positives, it ultimately lacks finesse, leaving a sense of unresolved potential in this otherwise enjoyable sipper.

Tamise | Nano Cinco – Brasserie Artisanale
Tamise is a big surprise to me; it’s much better than I expected. The beer is flavourful and balanced while maintaining good drinkability. The small serving size is a bit sad as I’d happily drink an imperial pint of this.
Messenger of Dawn | Reverence Barrel Works
Unfortunately Messenger of Dawn doesn’t come together as an enjoyable drinking experience. In fact, I won’t be finishing the bottle. Without question, the beer ticks a lot of Lichtenhainer descriptors but it doesn’t deliver a pleasant trip down the flavour path. Not recommended.
