I'm just about to start off on yet another of their new ones...fair enough, a lot of what they stick out is VERY similar to each other, but fake nothing away from them...they seem to have fired out about two new beers a week all the way through the current situation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markka Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 This might be the last Kolsch I have left to try. Rats Kolsch. Very, very tasty.Despite the slogan, all sensible people know Budweiser is only acceptable when it's either offered gratis or the only bevvy available, therefore I declare kölsch to be the true King of Beers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mizfit Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Why bother?I’ve a lovely bottle of highland park to dig into later, this is merely the warm up. And because my local coop has a shite assortment of beer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably has to go down as good marketing. Folk probably wouldn't keep on going back to buy the same 4 quid cans of IPA again and again, but folk like to try wee assortments of new stuff so it probably keeps folk going back to Overtone on the hunt for new stuff There's only so many changes you can make to IPA/NEIPA. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's probably it - their stuff is virtually never a disappointment, but it's a case of either my palate not being educated enough to discern the subtle variations between them, or them churning out what are essentially miniscule variations on three or four base recipes in different brightly coloured cans! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bottom line is they are shit hot at it and everyone gets what they want. Christ knows how you are meant to remember which ones yer favourite though.... I could swear I've seen @Craig the Hunter Tassimo machine with at least 35 Overtone NEIPAs in front of it 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stellaboz Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 From the top lads who work at the Gaffel brewery, this Cologne Pale Ale is fucking tremendous. The slight citrus hint is utterly delightful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they print the hop bill on the cans? There’s a million and one hazy hypebeast efforts here, but I do know that I’ll avoid anything with Nelson sauvin: it has a grapey note that I don’t like, and some folks don’t like sabro because it’s got a coconut thing going on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never managed to find an example of Sabro in any shops. Probably have to order online. Want to try it but haven't had the balls to knock out a 5 gallon batch with it in case its shite. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overtone always list the hops on the can, yeah. I only recently discovered Sabro and I quite like the coconut kick. Anyway, as I said, another new Overtone tonight and it's their 10% Big Yin. It's good gear. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best thing I’ve had with it was a Pipeworks pineapple milkshake DIPA which was phenomenal; it did have actual pina juice in it and it played fantastically with that.

Le Tout P'ti FC Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Somebody here was asking about beers with these "Bros" bottle tops.Found this bottle in Eskbank Trading, a new beer to me. It's a typical wheat beer, but a bit tart. Quite drinkable. Eskbank Trading is also stocking Overtone. Four or five lines in, stocks were a wee bit low, so they clearly have their fans in Midlothian too. Really good selection of beers in that shop. I had a look at Barry's Southside* on Twitter, and I reckon Eskbank Trading is stocking most of the same range. Really good selection of German beers.Went in for a greetings card and came away with £40 of beer! Forgot to buy a stamp for said card. What a failure.* Stockist of rapidly disappearing Irn Bru Sour. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hillonearth Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 (edited) Triple Lemon from Top Out... lemon zest/lemongrass/lemon thyme. Safe to say there's a hint of lemon in there. Edited February 27, 2021 by Hillonearth 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig fae the Vale Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Really good NEIPA from Arbor, and I know I'm not the first on here to enjoy this one. Special points for the full pint can! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
