Beer?

[John the Monkey]

You have an odd understanding of the word secret.

Just don't tell anyone, Adrian, eh.

Great Orme Brewery - Atlantis (5% abv)

Billed as a US style IPA made with British hops, I'd put this closer in taste to a hoppy Golden ale. There's a fair bit of sweetness and caramel in the taste, and it has a balance between the floral, bitter hop taste and the former that's more characteristic of a gold than an IPA. The hops just edge out ahead, and it's nicely drinkable without being dull or thin, but not for anyone expecting a raging hop monster of an IPA.

Mrs M says: "Very Good."

More glass/bottle co-ordination

I went to a brewery tasting last week and tried 4 new ones, no pics. Good though.

Another new bottled one, First Light, nice, light beer with a good strong hoppy taste, nice combo, good balance.

Flogging off some soon to be out of date Flagship, lovely strong bc IPA, quid a bottle.

Saw this cute little beer delivery motorbike today, rich probably remembers this unusual form of locomotion...

Yeah but being served it like that in a bar in Ghent doesn't really give you any kudos, Marmalade (copyright DP)!

I'm more concerned about how minging the glass is.

Sticky bun day at the Rich P household, I reckon.

What do you expect, the bloke's got it resting on some old driftwood crate.
