点评:I decided to check out a local brewery to try some of their beers, so I ordered a flight of a hazy IPA, a hazy pale ale, and a bitter. Right off the bat, I was let down to find out they were all on keg, with no cask options. The beers were served super cold, which really masked the flavours I was hoping to taste. It's frustrating because beer shouldn't just be frozen for the sake of it; chilling it this much masks the taste and can even mask any bad notes. I’m not saying the beers were sour, but the bitterness that should’ve popped was barely there. It was tough to figure out what the flavours were with everything so cold, and that chill haze stuck around while I was in the tasting room. Plus, none of the beers had a nice foamy head or lacing, which was a bit underwhelming.
There were a bunch of canned and bottled options available to buy, but after my flight experience, I passed on them. I was also shocked by the price—over £9 for that flight, which is just one pint!
I stuck around for 15 to 20 minutes, and during that time, only one other person came in for a pint, so there was plenty of space to sit. The server behind the bar didn’t seem too interested. She just pointed me to the chalkboard with the options and was more focused on her phone than helping customers, which made the whole experience feel even less inviting.
翻译:我决定去一家本地啤酒厂尝尝他们的啤酒,于是点了一份品鉴套餐,包括一款浑浊IPA、一款浑浊淡色艾尔和一款苦啤。结果刚上桌就让我失望了,因为所有啤酒都是桶装的,没有桶装的。啤酒冰得特别厉害,完全掩盖了我期待品尝到的味道。这很让人沮丧,因为啤酒不应该为了冰冻而冰冻;这么冷会掩盖啤酒本身的味道,甚至会掩盖一些不好的味道。我不是说这些啤酒很酸,但本该突出的苦味几乎尝不出来。所有啤酒都这么冷,很难分辨出它们的味道,而且那层冰冷的浑浊感在我待在品鉴室的时候一直挥之不去。另外,所有啤酒都没有漂亮的泡沫或挂杯,这有点让人失望。
虽然有很多罐装和瓶装啤酒可以买,但经历了品鉴套餐的糟糕体验后,我放弃了购买。价格也让我大吃一惊——一杯啤酒就要9英镑多!
我在那儿待了15到20分钟,期间只有另一个人进来点了一杯啤酒,所以座位很充足。吧台后面的服务员看起来兴致缺缺,只是指了指黑板上的酒水单,自己却更专注于手机而不是服务顾客,这让整个体验更加令人失望。
