Beer?

A Gypsy Hill NEIPA called Amity. Friendliness itself!

And, home again, I'm about to have A Gong Bath with a Priestess. I'll probably fancy another beer after that....

Jalapeño IPA, great nose of fresh cut chillies and hops. Small kick of heat but well balanced. Very drinkable!

Well the boycott didn't last long!

Oodathortit?!

I was lucky enough to come across a cask East London Brewery Orchid vanilla mild, which apparently won CAMRA best of class last year. Mild is a pretty rare style these days, which I think is a missed opportunity. Well, ELB took up the challenge and came up with a very good mild.

Followed by a Bad Seed Extra Pale Ale. Not bad, not special though.

Wylam, bless 'em, have come up with a perfect beer for European election results. And it's really excellent too.

Rugby Ale (Church End, 5.0%)

The dark colour rather belies a slightly light body. It tastes, I think, like a good best bitter, with an interesting slightly chocolatey note - I wish the tastes lingered more than they do though.

Enjoyed a pint of Hen Harrier - a "spectacular Golden Pale Ale" from Bowland Brewery at Clitheroe.

"Spectacular" is possibly pushing things a bit, but it was a very drinkable pint with soft citrus and peach flavours intertwined according to the blurb and I wouldn't disagree with that.
A good session ale at 4.0% and helping a good cause too: https://www.bowlandbrewery.com/whats-on/news/bowland-brewery-joins-forces-with-rspb/

I got bored so came out to see what was new at the White Hart. Long Drift, an organic pineapple kettle sour from a London Beer Factory and Black Isles Brewery collaboration. Could be a bit more sour to bring out the pineapple more but pretty good all the same.

A Pinball, Collab between Track and Howling Hops. A very intense and dank NEIPA. One to sip.

Both very good although the mad squirrel is a cut above

Edit: I couldn’t think of a reasonable description for the Mad Squirrel but it says it on the tin really. Refreshing like a lager and tasty like a session IPA is as best as I can come up with, some citrus tropical tastes but that’s where my beer snobbery ends

I would definitely drink this in a pub if it was on tap, and it would likely be more than a couple

I popped in last week, sadly only the deer stalker stout grabbed my attention.

Bank holiday! Prolly about as good as it gets for a new wave IPA in NL.

Woods take 5 IPA 5.2 %. Hoppy, ipa. Not as much as them Oakham brewery beers. Of which I,m thankful. A nice pint.

Siren have just done another Project Barista, which is an apparently annual doing silly things with hops and coffee event. I'm just about to open a Double Double. It's a double dry hopped coffee pale.

Oh, the Bourbon Turkish imperial stout is lush! Barrel-aged in bourbon barrels, 11%. Best of the four.
