Beer?

Son #2 is fully converted to the modern beer revolution. He has been disappointed that Estepona Carrefour hasn't any, in his words, "orange coloured cloudy grapefruit beer"

So imagine our surprise in a restaurant we came across Babel Brewery American IPA. Brewed in Estepona, hasn't even got a website. At 5% it's fairly easy holiday drinking. Bottle conditioned so nice and cloudy. Rather orange coloured and packs a grapefruit punch. Son #2 happy. Me too cos it was good

19.9%: All the way from California.

"Contains alcohol" says the label. Not 'arf! It's never entirely clear whether or not USanians have an extremely dry senzarumer.

19%!

Don't forget the additional 0.9!

I think I'd forget a lot of things if i drank that.

Good grief! Gang signs in the beer thread, whatever next? Crackle's dog joining the special forces?

Oh.

Is it horrible?

Seek and ye shall find....

...the only specialist beer bar in Estepona. It's a conservative town for beer. Any number of varieties of lager but the beer revolution hasn't really made it to Andalucia yet.

Bar Siopa. Good range of micro stuff from Estepona, Marbella, Malaga and Sevilla

On recommendation I had the Altos Hornos from Marbella. Orange, cloudy, hoppy. Ticked all the boxes and nicely balanced. Just right for a warm evening

Nightcap. You could basically just show the label to an angry water buffalo and it wouldn't even think about approaching any closer...

Courier is an aggressive font, isn't it? But what of the beer inside? Which Empire and which season? The autumn of the British? The winter of the Ottoman? Or the high summer of the Roman?

One exploded whilst I was away on holiday. I tried one earlier in the week, but don't really like it to be honest.

I was abiding by the new reviewing conventions. I thought it was perfectly clear. Anyway I still have the Oatmeal Stout left, and will reflect on the entire series when it is no more.

Mine was very lively. I had to approach it with great restraint to avoid the Full Crackle Effect.

Full Effect d'Crackle or FEC! as I might say when confronted with this phenomenon.
