    Okay i'm not sure what the moderation is like on this new forum so would you mind if we kept it to European Beers (as this is the Europe sub forum)?
    Thanks.

    The Halycon ain't bad. But I had that earlier in the week.

    I cracked a few open watching the Rugby and have carried on at a leisurely pace whilst I cooked and eat dinner , and have just done some work work on the laptop!

    The list looks something like this ... Nogne 0 - harviestout; Mikkeller - Spontannane; Mikkeller - Wet Hop Kellerbier; Kernel IPA (Citra); Kernel Pale (Citra/Centennial) ...

    Contemplating one more perhaps?

    Prost! (Europe!)

    Ps - what's the traffic like on the NZ/AUS forum? Each to everyone having their own domain etc, but did they really get more post than the UK forum ??? If not - lump them in with Europe I say!

    I'm currently drinking Mosi, a delicious lager from Zambia (review to follow). Coming soon: Pride of England, London Pride, Golden Monkey and possibly a Duvel to round things off.

    Halcyon is a great choice by the way. Tell me if you think the aroma has a hint of mature cheddar to it....

    Pouring it now! The Roisin was quite nice, and would be very refreshing in the summer I think.

    Just finished Fyne Avalanche. Think it'll be Knops Black Cork next.

    How is the Avalanche? I've got one I haven't cracked yet.

    The same for those bloody Canadians. And even combined the old Canadian and Oz/NZ forums didn't yield the same number of posts as the UK Forum did.

    Verdict on the Halcyon: good but not worth the £3.69 price tag!

    I reckon I paid about the same - a bit steep perhaps. But I thought it was a damn good beer!

    Bottled, it OK. I'm going to post a review later today. Sort of like the base beer Fyne Ales might use for many of their beers but without the usual magic.

    That's a decent point. As these austerity days keep rolling on I'm becoming more conscious of the bottled price tag and £3.69 is a little steep. Funny though, I'm happy to pay the price recently for Old Viscosity and Racer 5 though.
