UK Weekend Beerage

Don't really want to say it but I really preferred Dale's. Had a lovely bready biscuity juicy quality which was so well integrated and balanced with a long yet restrained classy bitterness. Very nice. The SNPA was quite soft and malt forward and sort of fell apart over the course of the poured bottle. Not a good showing but unfortunately the usually reliable Sierra Nevada has thrown up a number of disappointments lately.

 

Not drinking anything tonight. Allergies are just killing me and they've really affected my beer consumption for over a month or so.

 

I'm moving tomorrow, which means I have to finish my Trappist month tonight. Finishing on a high, with Rochefort 8 and 10.

 

Slumming it up then, eh?? ;-)

 

Sonnet 43 India Pale Ale

An old style IPA following in the footsteps of such classics of the style as GK IPA and McEwans IPA.
Their Blonde is nowt to write home about either but I hear good things about their bourbon milk stout

 

I am going to be so depressed next week when I look over at the shelf where this lot used to be. I need to be friends with some more monks...

 

William's Bros Prodigal Sun. I've had a few of these, and it always goes down a treat.

 

after a morning banging away on the keyboard getting the beer list together for BSF @ GBBF it has been a pleasurable afternoon /early evening sinking a few pints of Ossett Citra.

 

Bottle share at a mate's house with some interesting US and Belgian things on the list.

And maybe a trip to CBC's 2nd birthday. Some one off things on cask that look interesting.

Good grief, I want to attend SO much. Sadly I'll not be any where near Lahndaan until Friday, drat and double drat!

 

Hayfever is getting the better of me. Everything I've sampled lately has tasted off. Nothing for me again. Think I'll pop my eyes out, run them under some cold water and re-insert for maximum relief.

 

Can't see the attraction in Torpedo mesel', thought it was ok but nothing special.
Tiny Rebel Urban IPA tonight, floral, perfumey,, plenty of malt in evidence and a hint of hairspray.

 

I bought a Samuel Smith pack that had 3 beers, 2 coasters, and a glass. I drank the 3 from that glass...Nutbrown, Oatmeal, and India Ale.

 

Better than my Tossco which has a small selection of dull piss.
Not trying to take you to task about your beer choice, just noticed that Torpedo seems to be a popular choice and wondered what I am missing and with SN in general.

 

Arbor's Man v Beer. Story of my life.....

(It tastes fantastic by the way).
