Back to the Estonians and a gooseberry berliner weisse. Super dry, citrusy and tart with a salty aftertaste. Just fantastic. If you like Salty Kiss from Magic Rock, you may like this.

I hope you have more luck than me then, I've never seen it in my local Tesco.

Some of those chaps are drinking straight from the tins, how terribly uncouth.

I admit to doing likewise. But I am uncouth. The beer was awful on site, thankfully I managed several decent brews beforehand.

Windsor and Eton Best Bitter, nice uncomplicated beer.

Well, quite! It shouldn't work, and with the best will in the world it really doesn't, in the end. But it isn't quite the car crash I expected it to be. The colour is lovely; the vanilla (thankfully) is muted; the strawberries are incongruous but intriguing, and fresh-tasting rather than strawberry-milkshake flavour. I'm not getting a whole lot of chocolate - for me this can only be a good thing in a pale ale, and also because strawberries simply don't go well with chocolate, whatever the people who peddle those minging fountain things might have you believe. All the sweetness is on the nose and up-front on the palate - it disappears quickly and the finish is extremely bitter - perhaps this is where the cocoa comes in. As I get to the bottom of the glass I decide that I've probably had enough of the strawberry thing - which is fine because I only bought one. I now have to choose between a Magic Rock High Wire Grapefruit IPA, and doing all the stuff I intended to do this evening, like tidying the flat and writing something useful. Place your bets.

Don't tRYE this @ home - a 12% "rye wine". It's like liquid alcoholic pain d'epices - so a deffo yumtus!

Mrs M and I have had this before, albeit on draught (see posts passim). I don't think I'd amend that review too much for the bottled version of the beer, although it seems lighter in body than the version we had on cask at our local.
Easy drinking, quite sweet & malty.
Mrs M says: "Very nice."

On call which means that's too far for tomorrow. If Welling doesn't have it, I'll be in Beckton on Weds.
