Beer?

[Spartak]

Fruity little number and very quaffable, only 3.8%...

Bought it for Mrs S. as its labelled Gluten Free but when she checked the barcode on her Coeliac app it said NO.....
So I'm drinking them, luckily I bought 4

I do like that sort of thing. Not all the time but every now and again they're a treat. It is quite intensely caramelly, isn't it?

I just checked online - Asda are out of stock for this one. It looks like it was sold at £1.80 compared with LiDL's £1.49. I didn't see it in my local LiDL though. However, the Fourpure brewery and tap are only a mile or so away from here....

@stephec I don't think you got this one from Lidl

I had one last night. Strong pineapple which, combined with a fairly bitter hop, gave it a kind of all spice flavour. Interesting.

After a 35 mile post work ride I was gasping for a drink so poured myself one of these before jumping into the shower.

Top tip.
Be careful where you leave your beer while having a shower.
It didn't look quite so appealing.

I took your advice and skipped the shower.

It is yes. As you say, once in a while is lovely.

I have a taste for Spitfire,I have been supporting the local shop.£2-45 a bottle,sorry no more Aldi and Sainsbugs £1-25 ,don't mind a few pence but check nearly double.

The label takes a bit of effort to work out what you’re drinking, but it’s a nice drop of beer.

We've all done it through. 😊

Only when stood up with your forehead resting on the wall....

I've been foraging at Lidl, reports to follow in due course. 😊

Here we go then with the scores on the doors.

Luminous Nights - fairly unremarkable and seems to be relying on the alcohol content to bump up the flavour, I won't be buying it again.

Gear Shifter - I like citra only beers and this one doesn't disappoint, would buy again.

Stewart NEIPA - very average and I wouldn't bother with it again.

Forbidden Fruit - it's like a very watered down Elvis Juice, and whilst EJ is far too smash you in the face with it's flavour this one is too far in the opposite direction, I wouldn't say no if it was placed in front of me again but I won't be seeking it out again.

Love Lane - the lowest abv here and probably the best one of the lot, somewhere between a traditional English IPA and a more modern hoppy jobbie, very nice.

I'm now going to round the weekend off with my traditional last drink of Sunday night, Brewdog's Mr President, ding dong!

And Mrs Stephec says that for a fiver the wine was lovely. 😊
