The nights are drawing in, the air is turning crisp, and somewhere in the shadows… the beers are getting stranger.
Welcome back, brave drinkers, to the Eternal Hoptimists’ Spook-o-ween Special, our annual descent into the cellar where 13 haunted brews await. Each one cursed with mystery, mischief, and maybe even a little magic. From ghostly pales to monstrous stouts, we’re once again lighting the lantern to uncover what goes burp in the night…
Tonight, our fearless reviewer Chris takes the lantern in hand, ready to face whatever lurks within the next can…
1. Name : Papillion, IPA (5.5% ABV)
2. Brewery: Otherworld Brewing, Edinburgh (Scotland)
3. Hops : Loral & Sabro
4. Grain : N/A
5. Aroma : Tropical Fruity Aroma
6. Appearance : Open white head, With a cloudy golden colour.
7. Body : Crisp, medium bodied, with a good level of carbonation
8. Taste: Crisp but bitter and not quite as fruity as it smells, not a terrible tasre profile but not really for myself.
Not at all bad, but disappointing considering the smell, was left fishing for a little more fruitiness.
Chris’s Jack ‘O Rating is: 3.3/ 5.0
The glass lies empty… yet something stirs. From the shadows of the cellar, a hiss escapes, and the promise of another cursed brew claws its way closer. Tomorrow, we open the next chapter in our tale of 13 Haunted Beers. Lock your doors, ready your glasses — the horror is only just beginning…
