I'm starting with the golden ale which has rose petals and grains of paradise in. The rose is very subtle (too subtle in my view) and I have no idea what a grain of paradise is, so I don't know whether I can taste it or not. But it's lovely. Lemony and very bitter. The other ones have hay and seaweed in respectively.

Have they all got duck in or whatever that flappy bird thing is?
It's a cormorant, you ignoramus. No, but the stout is seaweed-flavoured.

How rude, well I hope it tastes as rancid as it sounds.

Tres bien-sante!
The Crafty Baa in Windermere stocks a most excellent range of Belgian and other beers...I met a pukka blonde there the other week (I'm talking about beer, obvs
). Must visit the Bowness Brewery Tap in Kendal some time as well.
Booths in Windermere are now stocking Appleby Brewery beers, which I haven't tried before, so I've been doing a bit of research-well you've got to haven't you?
The Senior Moment (best bitter) is very drinkable and full of flavour. I love my lambics, goses, raubiers and IPAs that are hoppier'n a box of frawgs in a skillet y'all, but I'm very happy to drink beers like this too. The Horse Fair (light golden ale) is perfect for a nice sunny evening and at 3.6% it won't make you feel that a herd of wild horses are running round inside your head. The Middle Aged Spread (stout) is velvety, chocolatey and malty with a hint of coffee...very Moorish.
Fell Brewery a few miles up the road near Cartmel do some great beers too, such as Nectar Session Pale (more floral and fruity than hoppy and a nice strength at 4.2%) and Robust Porter (more coffee and malty than the MAS , definitely worth a punt). Churs!

Not so much the beer, but the location...T2 Heathrow :-)

It's a bit more complicated than that...
Scraping down my photos from Saturday night, I find
Seren wild ale #4. It's a burgundy-aged sour brewed with a concoction of random bugs, including what sounds as if it ought to be used to make yoghurt (lactobacillus) and what sounds more like it's something that might be growing under a toenail (pediococcus). It's also astonishingly expensive - enough to make the nice lady in the off-licence ask whether we really wanted to spend that much on a small bottle of beer. But it did complement a co-op rhubarb tart. I haven't a clue what I had with my Jersey Royals and Kentish asparagus.
Then I had a pint of decent bitter from the Glamorgan brewery before a nightcap....
The beer should have been in the tall glass, but it didn't fit into the pub's washing machine so I got it as a present when I asked which brewery the Weissbier came from. It's served much less gassy in the Gower than it is in Munich.
