Pale Ale (Camden Brewery)

We monkeys were all out and about yesterday, and stopped for a meal at Hanover Street Social, in Liverpool. Beer wise, Punk IPA and Camden Pale were the choices. I had Camden, as I've never had it before; whether it was drawn from a delicious, freely brewed pre-takeover keg, or a sour, locked down post-sellout keg, I know not.

It's not a bad pale on this showing anyway. Mostly resinous, citrussy hops with bready/yeasty finish. Not earth shattering, but nice enough. Given the choice again, I'd probably go for Punk as a "purer" modern IPA - the Camden seems a bit lager-y because of that finish.

Mrs M says: "Very Nice."

Great photo - what happened? (No man is an Island - just for the record.)

I'll tell you what happened.

First beer in the garden this year. Lovely and sunny here.

Due to the presence of dog biscuits, the dog now gets to the beer shop before me. I found him behind the counter when I got in but I digress and he'd snaffled a dropped chip before he even got there.

I forget who reminded me about Dunkels but twitter alerted me to the presence of a new stock at the beer shop so I investigated. I'd already picked the Spartan before I recalled why I went in. It's a local'ish Southport beer.

That Paulaner Salvator is a dark beer rather than a Dunkel, 8% sweet and caramelly. Absolutely lovely but I couldn't drink more than one at once. Mrs Crackle snaffled a third anyway so it's academic. I'll report back about the others.

The Dunkel was slightly disappointing after the Salvator, not bad though but I prefer a little less sweetness if I was being fussy. The Spartan was very nice lots of dark burnt'ish caramel and coffee type flavours with a slightly bitter finish. Might try their other stuff.

Will it make staying in Croydon for a moment longer than I have to worthwhile?

I thought the hair stuck to the bottom of the glass was one of mine on the laptop screen. Now I've got a smeary fingerprint to clean off it

I'm not sure of the provenance of that hair but I've got my suspicions.
