Is that a marketing shot, all a bit lacklustre?
Anyway talking of ponciness, I bought this in posh Woodstock. It goes against the grain a bit as it has a slight comedy name with the word 'cock'. Also each bottle has a feather tucked into the label, all a bit nonsensified and gimmicky. I wouldn't be surprised if it's shít.

I had one of theirs the other day - Diamond Lil - was alright.

It's a bit more complicated than that...
While I was in M&S buying that lot for work I also took the opportunity to pick up some of theirs for me for supper. The first one to be broached (to give me inspiration for cooking) is a Sorachi Saison, and to my slight surprise, it's absolutely delicious. Although it's clearly brewed to show off the hop - something called Sorachi Ace, "zesty lemon and orange notes with intriguing hints of spice" says the BS on the bottle - and it's extremely bitter, it's not over-hoppy or over-bitter. I suspect that the malted wheat (congratulations to M&S for listing the ingredients) and the alcoholic strength (6%) go to provide the balance you don't get with the rankest of the American-style beers. It's also brewed by the experts at Adnams, which no doubt helps.
@Marmion wouldn't like it - plain black cap. And since to my eternal regret, Mrs W doesn't drink beer, and since to their shame M&S don't sell a dry cider I had to pop next door to Waitrose for a couple of bottles of Aspall's Premier Cru for her.

It's pretty good ackshly, decent taste and finish especially for a session strength beer. I'll forgive them the cocks but they could do with losing the feather.

No photo tonight. I'm drinking the Snake Dog IPA as shown in a previous post. The artwork rivals Beavertown's so I guess it's a proper poncey beer.
Smells flowery and tastes of bitter caramel (does that make sense?). I was expecting something totally radge to match the Steadman style artwork but if I was going to describe this beer with one word it would be 'mellow'.
Lovely stuff, wish it wasn't quite so expensive.

Just heard a story on the local radio that Tempest have just signed a 6 month contract with Aldi to supply them with beer - no idea if it is limited to Scotland or how many beers it extends to tho.

That's Steadman style artwork because it is Steadman!

Good forward thinking with the name on his polo shirt. Always helps when he gets a bit bolshie and asks the bar staff "do you know who I am?"The 1st night of our Lakes holiday and @Rickshaw Phil enjoys a pint of the gorgeous Bluebird Bitter in the Black Bull at Coniston
