Bedlam Brewery

Amagansett (5% ABV, can
Light golden with good carbonation amd a white head that stays well. There’s a fabulous fresh aroma of stonefruit, mango, and grapefruit. The fruit flavours are well balanced by biscuity malt. A smooth and easy-drinking beer with a good body.

Amber Skies (4.2% ABV, bottle)
A beautifully polished, clear amber beer, with light carbonation and an off-white head. There’s a lovely toffee malt and bready background to this amber bitter. Orange notes provide fruity balance. A lovely session bitter.

Kelp! (5% ABV, can)
Very deep dark red with a big, pillowy off-white head that lasts for ages! On the aroma, there are liquorice notes from the kelp. Light coffee, too. The full body is silky smooth. The kelp in the recipe brings a savoury note, while there’s also coffee, vanilla, dark chocolate, and dark cherry. Utterly delicious.

Oater Space (3.4% ABV, can)
A cracking, flavoursome, session pale. Hazy straw with a white head that stays well, there are big tropical fruit bowl aromas. On the palate it’s oh so smooth and full bodies, but then there are four varieties of oats in the malt bill (hence the name). The oats manifest themselves in a delicate malt balance, too, against the mango, lemon, and passionfruit of the hops.

Phoenix (3.9% ABV, bottle)
Golden, with a white head that stays well, and loads of carbonation. The aroma is fresh, grassy, and citrussy. On the palate, there’s bundles of zingy American hop notes, evoking pineapple, crapefruit, passionfruit, and lemon pith. A flavour-packed session refresher.

Pilsner 180 (4.2% ABV, can)
Crystal clear gold in colour, with a white head that disippates fast, this has a musty, slightly resinous aroma. On the palate, it’s crisp and very pils in style. Quite cereally, herbal, and spicy, with a hint of orange and lemon.

Sussex Smokie (5% ABV, can)
Very dark with a thick beige head, the aroma is slightly smokey, with coffee and burnt toast. On the palate, dark bitter chocolate kicks in, with espresso coffee and slight smoke. There’s a lovely rich malt character, and just a hint of dark berry fruit. Very enjoyable.

Turtle Recall (3.9% ABV, can)
Polished golden, with good carbonation and a pillowy white head, there’s an aroma of light stonefruit. That flavour carries through to the palate, with a hint of orange, against a lovely malt background, on the margin between bready and biscuity. A robust session pale ale, with a great body, refreshing and easy drinking.

Wilde (4.4% ABV, can)
Slightly hazy gold with a white head, there’s a very fresh aroma of lemon, lime, and mango, with a little orange. On the palate, a more tropical note comes through, with passionfuit and mango to the fore. Truly a beer that explodes with flavour, awakening jaded tastebuds (my first beer of the day on a Sunday). There’s light biscuit malt and a decent body, with gentle fruity bitterness on the finish.
