Beer?

[threebikesmcginty]

I'm having a Big Cock, this is exactly the sort beer I'd never buy, just look at their stock beers http://directbeers.com/Bottled-Beers.php, appalling nonsense. I can't see anything about the company on their website. Real shame as the beer's quite nice, a sort of buttery caramel taste with a delicate floral hoppy finish. Nobbers.

Posted one now while I can still focus.

Have you filled us in on the great Hooky píss-up yet?

Is it too much effort to scan the previous page....

I shared the Mikkeller with no.1 son today and it was all right. No, better than all right. He loved it of course.
The label says it's Belgian wild beer but I assume that is in terms of style?

Been down to Rotterdam today and scored some USAles from Prairie Artisan Ales outta Tulsa, OK.

We tried one of theirs from tap: a bourbon barrel aged imp stout with cocoa nibs and chilli which was tremendous. Fully expecting this lot to hit the spot!

Sounds like your son knows his stuff!

BONUS BEER!

Freedom Brewery "Pioneer" English Lager (4.6% abv)

Probably the wrong time of year to be drinking this - a pleasantly light, without seeming weak, or underflavoured, English take on Pilsener. It has a fresh, light taste, with the main notes being grassy/herby and bitter, with a hint of some grapefruity hop in there too. Nice, dry aftertaste too. Not longlasting (can something linger mediumly?), but that would be a bit out of character given the rest of the taste.

I liked it - get some bottles in for the Summer, or for now if you want to remind yourself of Summer.

Mrs M recovered sufficiently to try some and offer an opinion, she says "Very nice."

A Liverpool Craft Rye pale - lovely

I attempted a Liverpool Craft Black Fox yesterday (black IPA) but apparently it wasn't mine so Mrs C grabbed it off me, I grabbed it back and topped it triumphantly but it had all been a bit much for the beer and the whole lot erupted out the bottle in record time, even for me.

Good to see Mrs M back on top reviewing form!

Mmmmm that looks nice, might try some.

When you drink it, maybe have a bottle of Orval to hand, for a comparison.

I find this a good rule to live by generally. Having a bottle of Orval to hand works in most situations.

Sainsburys are selling 660ml bottles of Punk IPA at £2.50 a pop.
