Here are my quick reviews of the Stellar Cellar experiment from MacLeod Ales and Cellador Ales. The base beer was the same and then each brewery did their spin. One Sour and one Unfiltered IPA…
Here is my quick take on this duo…
MacLeod – ‘tis a British take on IPA for sure. There is some fruit, pineapple, but it is a search to find it anywhere than in the aroma. I get mostly malt and an earthy, wet bitterness that lingers at a medium small level throughout.
Cellador – this has a great aroma. All Brett with fruit notes lingering on the outside. This is a super dry beer. Shock to the palate dry. The pineapple comes through in a dried flavor. This is one to drink little sips of to savor.
