@Crackle

You drinking with Jeremey Corbyn - because he doesn't get invited to London parties? Made for each other I guess.

 

[Crackle]

Yes it is.

Pah

Talking about photo critique - and jamming your mate's fizzog into the frame (just) viewers might have completely failed to notice the Budweiser bottles littering the table. Monday night is quiz night on this forum: Why?
(I'm sure the perspective 'throw' on the nearest bottle to the lens implies that it doesn't belong to the er 'photographer' Mosquey*)

*Sadiq Khan appreciation moment - not a 'nom de plume' forthwith as I know you don't smoke.

I'm excited about the Margarita Gose and the poncey wild-foraged thing tho.

Me too! I'm saving the Gose for later, but for now...

Hmmmmm. It's odd. First off, the colour: the rich golden-amber of cirrhotic tramp's piss. Flavour-wise, there's an overwhelming hit of oaky-vanilla, presumably from the chardonnay barrels. It's not unpleasant, but it could do with being toned down a bit. The underlying character is fragrantly floral, in an air-freshenery kind of way, with estery-banana yeastiness, sherbet lemons, and a modest dose of peppery alcoholic warmth. I'm not really familiar with gorse as a flavouring but I read on t'internet that it's supposed to taste like coconut and yes, there's definitely a subtle hint of coconut there, lurking behind everything else.

Probably too complex for its own good, but that's what you get for being a ponce. It's borderline whether or not it's recognisable as a saison. In a blind tasting, you might be forgiven for thinking it's cider rather than beer. I would drink it again but wouldn't go out of my way for it..

Worth drinking, but not worth going to drink; to paraphrase some old geezer.

I'm not - I've drunk enough that I'm seeing double...

This salted caramel stout is a bit meh. Tastes pretty much exactly as you'd expect it to taste. Far too sweet for my liking. I preferred the Wooha IPA - a decent and proper old-fashioned copper-coloured ale with a good dose of hops. The Radical Road is a good but generic modern hoppy pale ale.
