Liverpool Craft Beer Co. 's "Love Lane" pale ale for me tonight, one I picked up from the "Beer Heroes" stall at the food and drink festival.

A superior pale, I think, with a balance of hop bitterness and citrus that might have been chosen just for me, it suited my taste so well.

No details on the brewer's site, so here's the bumpf from untapp'd; https://untappd.com/b/liverpool-craft-beer-co-love-lane-pale/619064

I've bought a few of their beers from Bacchus in Crickhowell, not bad at all.

I love their beers. The Thai Bo has been mainstreamed up a bit since I last drank it. It used to be an exotic oddity - thin enough to drink very fast, with ludicrous lashings of lemongrass and a minty backdrop. So a bit much for some palates and not enough for others, but a bit like some fantastic summery newfangled rehydration drink that just happens to be beer. Now it's more like a slightly fuller golden ale with a heavy hint of lemongrass. Not that that's a bad thing, because they do some stonking and far-from-ordinary golden ales of various hues and depths such as Croeso, Columbo and O5, but I liked the boldness and distinctiveness of the original. What with gold beers being popular, there's a bit of a rash of mediocre golden stuff from less interesting brewers hogging too many pumps lately - seems to be a new one every day that tastes exactly the same as the last, from Evan Evans or the yawnsome Cottage from Swindon. Unfortunately the various new Gower microbreweries have yet to come up with anything outstanding. Celt Golden from Caerphilly is a stormer, though.

Ah yes... I think I liked that one. I'm just trying to remember what it was...

I remember the pub but not the beer.
I'm still using Listerine to get rid of the taste though

The excellent Miws Piws of Snowdonia do a nice one called Ysgawen, but I don't think that was it.

This is the Beer thread. You should have excused yourself nipped behind a hedge for a comfort break.
