And indeed it was. The spruce was like a breath of cool air at the start which led into a long, smooth fruity whit centre, that certainly didn't taste anything like 8%. And the cranberry came on subtly at the finish. Definitely not one of those fruit beers for people who don't like beer. Very dangerous indeed. I picked up a jug of this and a bottle of their new bottle-fermented Farmhouse Ale, made with Brettanomyces. It is really an amazing brewery for a place that has only been open for less than a year.

A dark-ish best bitter. It starts off malty, almost smoky, with a rich sweetness. The hops then come through, floral and crisp at first, becoming pleasantly dry and bitter into a lingering aftertaste. This is really superb stuff - I'd love to do a side by side tasting of it and Tatton Brewery's "Obscure", which I think has a similarly complex taste. Don't hesitate to pick up a bottle of this if you see it - it's gorgeous.

Moord en Brand Bourbon BA version from DeMo. Tasted this a while ago and the bourbon was very prominent. Now it's faded and there's more of a savoury kecap manis feel. Think I preferred it young and hot!

I have very fond memories of this - I last drank it on a great night out, and loved it.
On revisiting it, it's still good - the hops are the main taste, on the sweet side of grapefruity, shading to a strong dry bitter finish, that lingers nicely. I wonder if it's slightly "thin" compared to something like, say, Oakham Citra - and it definitely strikes me as more of a summer beer. Tasty, all the same, and I'd not be disappointed to see its pump clip among the choices at my local.

That's me just home after a weekend visit to my parents; I managed to have 3 pints of Cairngorm Tradewinds and the same number of pints of Innis and Gunn Original. I took pics but according to my phone I have not taken any pics since August 2014, the useless pile of shíte that it is.
And I had done my nails especially for the night out as well; they looked sparkly and fabulous

I had a pint of guest ale down the boozer last night, I think it was called Old Growler or something like, a strong dark beer, not bad but on reflection I'd have rather had a Hook Norton Twelve Days which was also on tap.
