More Brussels champagne: Oude Geuze from Moriau.

Proper sour and one of my all time favourites. Total bargain at under 5eur for a big bottle.

This was the last bottle though, so need to plan a trip to Belgium to pick up fresh supplies.

I have bought a large bottle of Brew by Numbers, hibiscus and chamomile saison for tomorrows lunch. I'm apprehensive already.

Had a couple of Mr Cohen's Revisionists this evening - the Dark IPA, which was a bit underwhelming, and the Steam Beer, which was much better - good body and very quaffable.

Do you think you might not last that long then?

Bottle conditioned, and made with Green Bullet hops, which I can't remember having before this. Anyroad - an initial hoppy bitterness develops into overtones that are difficult to describe - not citrussy, but not far off that sort of taste (I've seen "herby" used in other descriptions, which seems closer than "grassy" to me) before resolving into a hop bitter aftertaste. A nice caramelly aroma too, which I think is somewhere in the taste as well.

I feel rather like I'm drinking it at the wrong time of year, it's fresh, crisp and summery to my taste.

Slightly too far on the bitter side of the spectrum for me, but I'd not turn down another pint of this.

Sticking with the sours: Rodenbach Grand Cru.

Beautifully complex and not so sour as to frighten the horses. A slight whiff of nail polish straight out the bottle, a bit reminiscent of Chateau Musar (ooh I say!), but just enough to intrigue rather than put you off.
