De 5 Gårde – Falle – Beer Review

Falle, a refreshing beer from De 5 Gaarde

When I took my first sip of this refreshing, light ruby red beer from De 5 Gårde, I was a bit underwhelmed. I thought it lacked both flavour and aftertaste. But then after a couple of gulps everything changed. An initially subtle sweetness became more pronounced, backed by a gentle caramel maltiness and followed by a fresh hoppy finish. Towards the end of the beer, I was loving it. I give it 4 out of 5.

I bought this in Kvickly, in Aabyhoej. If you would like to get a bottle for yourself, you might be able to find it in your local Kvickly or Coop shop.

Beowulf – Dark Raven review

Going through a list of 16 Ales on at The Wellington, Birmingham, looking them all up to see if there were other milds than the tellingly named Monsoon Mild, I was beginning to lose hope towards the end. However, number 16 was the Dark Raven from Beowulf, and their website explained that it was a traditional mild. It sounded promising and when I saw it poured it increased my expectations. It was a deep brown with a nicely tan head. The smell added to the joy, with sweet roasted and caramel overtones. The only slight disappointment, helped on by the now very high expectations, was the taste. While it had some roasted caramel and fruity characteristics, it was dominated by a bitterness that I felt was drowning out the best parts of its flavour. Maybe it is just too strong at 4.5%. It’s still a nice beer, but after seeing and smelling it, though before taking my first sip, I thought it might have been one of my favourites. It is not. There’s a long way from this to a Welsh Black (Great Orme) or Oscar Wilde (Mighty Oak). However, I’m glad of every new mild I discover, not least during Mild Month May.
