Beer?

[figbat]

A couple tonight:

Decent enough modern style IPA.

Quite like this one. The fruit is subtle and the hops isn’t too in-your-face.

This was in my box from Flavourly very agreeable

I've had a couple of By the Horns beers and they were all very hop-forward with a marked bitterness. Does the pale dampen that down at all? (The can reminds me of Tate and Lyle's Golden Syrup!)

My palate isn’t that sophisticated, it’s just very drinkable

Tonight’s tipple is a brut ipa, not a style I’ve had before. Nicely hoppy, very dry on the palate and very light mouthfeel.

I did an online Taskmasters event tonight and worked my way through three of these. As the label says, a good session bitter!

My beer tonight was Russell's Reserve Single Barrell bourbon, followed by Marker's Mark bourbon, followed by Sky vodka. Times three. I haven't been drinking much lately so this turned out to be a really nice night.

Ale delivery this afternoon. Both from frome brewery.

I should have guessed from the can design that this one has an unmanageable head. It's a Hopfenweizen called Näcken. Collaboration with Omnipollo.
Seriously hoppy but smooth with oats going in with the wheat.

Light & refreshing and brewed only 5 miles away from me...

Nice choice. Galaxy, Australian pale ale from frome Brewing company. 5.2%. A bit herbal with tropical fruit and citrus zest.

Tonight, some expensive beer (£50, though not when I bought it)

(clicky)

If I'm honest I was hoping for a bit more from these two, they're not bad but nothing outstanding either.

In terms of chocolaty deliciousness the Vocation Chocolate Caramel Stout just about shades it, although you'd need a refined palate to pick out the caramel.

I don't know the Vocation/Brew York one but I've had the NM one and I was a bit disappointed with it. They're great with the hops but a little hesitant with the dessert beers. Still, it'll all get drunk in the end....

Lambiek collection coming on nicely. Mainly Cantillon and 3f with a bit of Tilquin and de Cam.
