Beer?

[rich p]

Basqueland Imparable IPA. It's always nice to try new ones from unusual places.This one from northern Spain. A sharp, citrus fruit beer with a bitter end .
Here's their own description which I think you'd find hard to disagree with.

%6,8 al./bol. pisuarekin eta 60 IBUrekin meneraezina eta kontrolazina, IPA geldiezina (Imparable euskaraz). Mendebaldeko kostako estiloko IPA honek dituen Iupulu kopurekin zure burua eztandarizko du. India Pale Ale Geldiezinak anana, guaiaba eta limio-zitriko lurrinez beteko du zure burua. Loreduna eta Erretxinatsua. B bikoitzak eta P-ez espero duzun guztia. Txanda eta kitto.
It also says in English...this m%therf*#ker is unstoppable

For probably the first time in my life today I found myself in the M+S beer aisle, what a selection.

Buy six and save 25%, yes please.

We all know how you love a bit of M&S Stephec...

Not such a stupid idea as all that - there should be enough flavour from the malt and the hops to counteract the lack of alcohol. It's why alcohol-free Weissbier is actually pretty tolerable.

Arbor breakfast stout and a mystery parcel to take home while I ponder what I'm going to eat tonight.

I won't mention the packet of crisps I've had. Instead I'll admit to a pint of Red Squirrel London Porter. Yumtush.

Something Oedipal and strong. Nice with various bits of grilled spicy meat.

Weird Beard Spreadsheet Ninja single hop (Citra) Pilsner. Speaking as a former spreadsheet ninja this flatters the back-room geeks more than it does the front-room brewers. Whatever it is, it's not a Pilsner. It's much more like a Munich Helles, with its honey undertones, than a bitter hoppy Pilsner.

It's now 10 minutes before the end of the cricket highlights and the Sri Lankans are still going. Which tells me all I need to know, I think.

I've got a question on this Saison if I can please?

It had the yeasty scent of a either a strong Belgian beer, or dodgy home brew.

Is that typical of this type, as it's not really to my taste?

Whoops, the Nogne O that I meant to post a picture of.
