It's summer and what goes best with summer? Awesome beers, unusual beers!!
What a collection I have gotten a hold of this week. Some splendid designs which hopefully the contents can live up to! I am feeling a tad delicate today so let us get started, in Scotland we call getting back on the wagon a curer!
First up is,
A fine looking can no? If it was down to name alone then this would surely win. It claims to be a stonefruit IPA. I don't even know what a stonefruit is!
Tis a fine looking beer, loses it's fizz a little quickly. The taste is very malty. I detect no hints of fruit at all, stone or otherwise. It's a little tart actually. I am not wholly convinced that I could drink many of these. It is passable but no more than that. Hmm, next please!
Not only does the name bring forth a smile but the beer does too. Easy drinking and golden this would be one it would be easy to forget your woes with in the sun. A really pleasant taste with a lingering finish. Yum.
You could find yourself getting quite mad with it as they say here after an afternoon slurping these down!
Look at the can!! I think Beavertown have some of the best designs out there. Makes me keen to try it!
Good grief though, I just noticed its strength is 8%. Yikes.
It pours well with a good head. Goodness me but it's strong. It is definitely one of those rare beers that is good strong though. A cool earthy flavour and one which you can really savour. Which is good because you wouldn't want to be chugging these down at that strength at a rate of knots!
Feeling dizzy? Let's move on to...
Perhaps the plainest of the cans but never judge a book by it's cover!
And how right that saying is. This is a great beer, strong in taste but with a slightly fruity finish. I am sure I am getting a little mango from it. Aw it's a lovely one and no mistake. After thinking again how strong it tasted I checked the label. 6.4% yeek!
And that rounds this week up. Cor, given that two of the beers are as strong as heck and I always buy double so I can get a proper taste I think I might end up tearing the roof aff the place
What roof I don't even know but I will alert you all when I do!!
Cheers everyone! Have a good weekend!!
