Presentation: After a few beers at the excellent Shepherds Rest and The Works it was time to revisit a timeless favorite, The Puzzle Hall Inn. Five Cask Ales on offer but I pitched for the Goose Eye Special, listed on the back Blackboard at 4.2% ABV and a whopping £2.35 Pint, bloody good job it wasnt my round!!!
Appearance: Copper body with a clear light brown hue and an off-white creamy head. Dispensed via a Homark coupled to a sparkler the head retention was solid at first but soon dispersed and broke half way down the Pint.
Nose: Soggy malts with a freshly wiped ashtray and cigarette butts soaked into a horseshit dollop. Erm, yeah, doesnt smell good this one.
Taste: Malty start with a dry grainy middle. The finish is also dry and scorched with a parched ashtray dimension that scatters sand and filly busters until you realize that it is nothing special at all. Tasted like home brew.
Mouthfeel: The Cask Ale body rescued this brew, rather than the beer itself. Soft and easy gong but very thin with a shocking dry grainy body.
Drinkability: Fair dinkum and a rushty brew, but nowt worth a wombats gonad.
Overall: £2.35 for a Pint, Timothy Taylors Landlord was the same price and Youngs Bitter was only £2.05 for a Pint. Guess I was robbed. Much better beers for the same coin.
Goose Eye Special, well, it isnt. Should be called Goose Eye Below Standard.
