Prelude - Beers Of The Beano - Saturday 02 August 2025

Hazy Daisy - Aldi UK - 5.0% ABV. B+ and a bit. Big and hoppy, slightly hazy, sharp with a slightly metallic taste. Fruity, bitter finish #ale #beer #bier

3.3/5. An unashamed Hazy Jane knock off. Far less hazy and a little artificial. However, it is much cheaper. Go with the original.

Tuesday in the Tumble #Pontypridd B+ and a bit #ale #beer #bier

Stuffd (Cosmic Space Dust) - Vault City - 6.2% ABV. B++. More sharp, more sour and more tart than a 2 on the VC scale would suggest #ale #beer #bier

3.5/5. Chill, flip, roll and Pour. Improves as it slightly warms up. More flavours come through. The Project, Caerphilly.

7 Years Sour - Vault City - 8.3% ABV. B++, thick, fruity, hint of sweetness with a strong pepperiness. Strongly sour #ale #beer #bier

3.5/5. 3 out of 5 on the Vault City Sour Scale. Completely different but I’m not sure I’m getting all the tastes on the can.

Stoopid: White Chocolate Raspberry Cherry - Vault City - 6.0% ABV. B++ and a touch. Thick and very fruity, gently sour and tart upfront. Long coconut fruity finish #ale #beer #bier

3.6/5. The fridges at The Project #Caerphilly are full of Vault City brews. Long and silly names. Great for Untappd.

Vale Pale - Tomos and Lilford - 4.3% ABV. B++, light and summery. Malty with a hint of sweetness and fruit. Gentle bitter finish #ale #beer #bier

3.5/5. In the Pen and Wig #Newport where they have all new WiFi. Ales from the Vale are really working.

Rutland Beast - Grainstore Brewery - 5.3% ABV. B+ and a bit, strong for a mild. Malty with bittersweet fruitiness. Touch of bitterness in the finish #ale #beer #bier

3.3/5. Maybe marked a bit low. Strong Milds could now be a thing. Now listening to This Week in Tech TWiT

Sempiternal - Dark Element / BeerBros - 6.0% ABV. A-, juicy, fruity, refreshing and dank. Fruity, bitter finish #ale #beer #bier

Whisper - FLOC - 5.0% ABV. B++, light, hoppy, fruity and a little tropical. Fruity lingering finish #ale #beer #bier

3.5/5. And my 5,000th unique on Untappd. This being a new brewery as well. Still listening to TWiT.

Caramelised Apple Cinnamon Crumble Doughnut - Vault City - 4.5% ABV. A-, such a lot going on here. Doughnut, pastry, tart, sour, fruity and thing. Awesome #ale #beer #bier

Thori - Dark Element - 5.2% ABV. B++, thick, juicy, mouthfeel, hoppy, fruity with a very gentle bitter finish #ale #beer #bier

3.5/5. Fresh, very fresh on within two minutes of arrival and brewed on site. Can beat The Project #caerphilly

Heathen - Northern Monk - 7.2% ABV. B++, Thick, juicy, hoppy, fruity with a tingly, semi sherbetty, bitter finish #ale #beer #bier

3.5/5. 7.2% ABV before 10.00 on a Saturday morning. I can see things getting very sleepy, very early on. However, that is what Beanoing is all about.
