Never End
Two Flints Brewery

Just under three years old, Two Flints is an impressive brewery. First of all, they had the moxie to open up a stone's throw from the royal family's now suburban estate. For their age, their website is good. They have a thoughtful approach to brewing. They have some 75 brews, so somewhat prolific enough. But most important to me, their taproom is under the barrel arches of a train station; giving me good cause to come visit them. In the meantime, I give them very good Overall Hugs. Cheers!

First, my little fuss about this actually being a Hazy Pale. Never End has all the fruit of a Hazy and only a little of the bitter hops of an APA. Besides, Two Flints calls it a Hazy Pale. But, me no fuss about styling. (It just makes it harder to rate if it's not in its correct style.) Next time, tho, I will ask a monitor to correct this obvious a mistake.

Never End Looks like a hazy. It Smells like one too, full of fruits. Its Tastes are well-balanced, not making the mistake of too much bitter hops spoiling the finish. Medium=mouthed.

Pours a milky peach colour, with a tightly bubbly white head that settles to a thin ring. Mango, pineapple and apricot on the nose, developing into orange peel. Sweet hops on the tongue, more muted than the aromas with a floral back end. Creamy and not overly tart or sticky on the mouthfeel, with a semi-sweet finish.

440 ml can, from Vinmonopolet Sandnes Kvadrat. Also available from nettbutikken. ABV is 4.8%. Moderately hazy pale yellow colour, large to moderate white head. Aroma of citrus, papaya and guava, a hint of juniper. Citric flavour, hints of yellow plums and juniper.
