    Is it as cold as a witch's tit down there in England or it just here?
    Either way, its a choice between a couple of Fyne beers, an imperial stout or something from Belgium. Decisions, decisions, decisions...

    I saw a "new" label and blindly grabbed Sainbo's TtD Summer Ale and threw it in the trolley
    had fanciful ideas of a William Bros beer brimming with fruity hops
    just pulled it out its Shep Neame
    opened it and there is the standard "Golden beer" B.O. aroma :confused:

    It has been freezing right up till Yesterday here in Manchester
    A couple of warmish days has made me less irritated that all the beers that I could find have been mostly Blonde & Golden

    Just had absolutely stunning Full English with 3 types of sausage & 2 types of bacon
    will have a nap and to assist this Wadworth Horizon

    Am I being cynical but are brewer's using "Summer" "Golden" "Blonde" & "Zesty"
    to produce very lacklustre beers cheaply that end up very similar to UK BMC lagers?

    Inferno, is this what Shipyard were aiming for with their IPA?
    Not quite there, quite tasty but somehow something is lacking.

    Cracking on cask mind. God bless B&Ms! Just finishing a Citra, thought the NM was a bit of a muddle. I'll pick more up tomorrow, y'know, just to be sure.

    I can see that adding the depth & complexity of taste to make whole.

    I like that mix of styles with the NM

    Gave the Keltek Natural Magik another go. Chilled it a little more to see if it stopped it gushing, it did but this time the head died in minutes. The beer was a damn sight murkier than before with none of the fruity hoppiness, just a one dimensional bitterness from start to finish. Even letting the remainder of the bottle warm up did little to improve it. The manky diabetic horse sample lurks within an arms length of me and I can't bring myself to drink anymore.
    Apparently the recipe was made as a Taste The Difference pie ingredient, yeah well gravy is all its fit for.

    Well either there are massive quality issues (I had a second bottle last night & though it wasn't the great ale I had with the first bottle it wasn't as bad as you have described)
    or there is no accounting for (my) taste :confused:
