JYMI SAY’S…

Can art: Hmmmm, yeah not great is it. Unless you’re a LA Rams fan I suppose.

Name: Hmmm, yeah not great is it. Unless the beer is so good it feels like it’s from another world (spoiler alert, it’s not).

Taste: Well, this brew isn’t good enough to justify it’s name, however, it is pretty tasty to be fair. The presence of lime is evident from the moment the beer hits your lips until the very end of the aftertaste. The lime is nicely mellowed out by a tangerine undertone. It’s not at all prominent but without doubt necessary to chill out our little citrus green ball hit.

Not a complex beer by any means but certainly enjoyable.

SAMMY SAY’S…

Another World is a pretty decent beer, but I wouldn’t describe it as being from another world.  Actually, it’s more than fair to say that Another World is very much from this world.  And it’s not setting this world alight, either.

What you get with this beer is a straight bat. There are no surprises or specific points of interest.  While it might deliver a solid performance, it doesn’t do enough to separate it from the pack.

The sherbet nose is supported by the usual grapefruit and citrus notes (on this occasion orange is the dominant fruit).  This drinking continues in the same vein, with Another World predominantly pushing tangerine to the forefront.  The fizz in the finish carries this all through quite nicely.

For a double dry hopped IPA, I think many a punter would expect more than Another World offers.  Despite it being very drinkable and quite pleasant, it’s very much lacking in its ability to punch anything at all special.  It’s a little like a sheep in wolf’s clothing.  Promising much more than it delivers, it falls short of being a cracking DDH IPA whilst still maintaining some good credentials as a decent beer outside of the pigeonhole it has cast itself in.
