I'm with @nickyboy - you can all feck off with all your fancy foreign words.

the beer was obviously frizzanté

I don't come to the beer thread to have my vocab extended so fark off with your fancy French words. What's wrong with "fizzy" or, at a push "carbonated"?

(actually I had to google this word so either I'm a bit thick or it's proper pretentious)

We'll all be talking bulles soon enough. By the way, as this thread is getting a bit serious about its bulles,it is important to remember not to wash your empties in a dishwasher but to use gentle soapy water etc. Unless you want to drink soapy water, in which case drink some of DP's geuzzy stuff!

I liked it. It brought back memories of holidaying in Epernay, and the local tourist board's "L'Ete Petillante" slogan.

Petty enough for you?

I'm with @srw on this one. There's more than one kind of fizzy.

Quite. She may have lousy taste in beer, but her fizz-meter is discerning. I look at the pint in front of me (while waiting for @User to bring me some leather) and it has a champagne fizz - typical for a keg pint. A hand pulled pint is more like a young vinho Verde (in that way only). This "pride" was exactly like Irn Bru straight from the can

I don't know. Just how crazy is that ant?

Dont forget Ant 'n' Dec. You can always remember which one's Ant as he actually looks like an ant.

Petty enough?

Hey! This thread could go all philosophical now,

and the silliness disappear. Oh - hang on a minute "0% alcohol"

Get Mrs JtM back here quick, to restore some sanity!

The problem with the Pride was that it was served fridge cold, which increases carbonation.

Anyway, I'm currently drinking a Belgian saison, brewed by one of my work colleagues. It's excellent: fruity notes, just off dry and lightly hopped. More effervescent than pétillant, but it needs to warm up a degree or two.

Incidentally, the etymology of pétillant is interesting: it has the same middle French root as petard, derived from peter which means to break wind.

FFS, have I stumbled into an etymological conference or summat?

.....back to beer; I'm off to Sicily (Catania based) in a couple of weeks. Any tips regarding hostelries or beers to be tried?
