It's a bank holiday and the sun goes over the yardarm earlier.
An homage to the late lamented DP I've cracked open a Tap 6 Unser Aventinus. Bloody marvellous, whatever that bloke srw says.

A present from a pal of mine for some help with his bike. This beer is billed as a Lager/IPA hybrid. I'm not convinced that the lager taste is present to a great degree, although there's a hint of lager-ish freshness every so often. The taste definitely majors on the IPA hops, with a pretty bitter main note, with a fair bit of grapefruity citrus-ness, and some peachy sweetness in there too. I don't get the floral stuff one of the reviews mentions, but I suspect I'm an unsubtle philistine. As for the beer, I'm not sure it's quite as unusual as its description would have you believe, but it is very nice indeed, and makes me want to try more of the Williams Brothers range - I'd be interested to see how they do a "proper" IPA, for one thing, as this is so good.

Mrs M says: "Very nice."

BONUS REVIEW:
Youngest M says "It's alright" (while shrugging).

I rate Wms Bros, they have some decent beers in their range.
