Another Hopgoblin [1] for Mrs M and I. Lovely stuff, but already reviewed/pictured. (Very nice, in case you wondered.)
[1] Inexplicably, this is still being labelled "Hobgoblin Gold", as though that were a better name, somehow.

M&S Summit IPA single hop. A new one! Really nice taste, can't quite put my finger on it, so to speak. Excellent long bitter finish. If I thought saying Yumtus made me a nobber I wouldn't bother mentioning it in the first place.

Unlike the one I am doing...
A distinct hint of prune. The tab says it's "powerfully hopped". Not allotment by that.

I like the liberal attitude to accepted norms that this photo adopts.
Employing, in the face of the traditional law of thirds, the law of halves, Rich offers up the empty blue sky as the main constituent and leads the viewer unconsciously away from the actuality that there is beer hidden in this photograph. In fact, the vast depth of field further leads us towards the family portrait ("toddler in pool") filling a full quarter of the composition, right on the centre line, ultimately taking the eye cunningly on a journey along the line of the fence and on to the neighbour's extension.
Lovely stuff.

This is Holster Saaz Blonde, "a light and refreshing beer/lager needed with extra pale malt and continental hops"
It's really, really uninteresting.

M&S Yank Pale Ale by Arbor. This is nice stuff, really enjoying this beer, lightly cooled to allow for warm day. Yumtus.

Ubu (Purity, 4.5%)
Slightly warmer than cellar temperature, this has a bready taste with a bit of sweetness, and some citrussy bitterness (more orangey than grapefruit), with a bitter aftertaste that lingers a middling amount of time.
It's better than I remember it being - perhaps I drunk it too cold last time?
Mrs M says: "Very nice."

When in Scotch-land...
I was in Pitlochry this weekend and across the road from the hotel was 'The Drink Monger', where they had a rather excellent range of Scottish beers. I couldn't resist. They are, from left to right:
Wooha Brewing Co IPA - not sure why this one particularly appealed but I quite like the cow on the label. I looked them up and interestingly, it turns out they have an all-female brewing team.
Grozet - bit of a classic, though I'm not sure if I've actually had it before.
Stewart Brewing Co Margarita Gose - intriguing. That is all.
Eden Mills Bunker Double IPA - hoping this one does what it says on the tin.
Cromarty Brewing Co Chardonnay Barrel-Aged Wildbush Foraged Saison - does this win the prize for ponciest beer ever invented?
Fallen Brewing Co Chew Chew Salted Caramel Chocolate Stout - this probably runs it a close second.
Eden Mill Shipwreck IPA - a more straightforward offering than the Bunker, I guess. Still 6.2% though.
Radical Road Triple Hopped Pale Ale - very pale and very hoppy, apparently. Sounds good.
They're all for later. I'm on my way back down south now and stopping off with my brother en route. It just happens that my brother's 'local' is the rather splendid Old Crown in Hesket Newmarket, so I stopped off for some of their superior home brew to quaff this evening (and might have stopped for a quick one while I was there)...

They had some of that in the Drink Monger too but I didn't get any.
