Shamus O'Sean Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 1 minute ago, Kegory said: Fruit salad, Shamus? It certainly has a dessert beer feeling about it. Quite sweet. It reminds me a bit of an expensive raspberry cordial. Actually, once it got down to about 50ml left, I topped it up with 50ml of a Mango Sour I have on tap. Wow-wee! The sourness nicely offsets the sweetness. All "three" beers tasted good. The mix was possibly the nicest. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite sweet, pretty heavy, low hop bitterness and a decent bit not sharp alcohol kick. Yummo This one is soooo goooood, special treat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aromas of raspberry fruit and floral notes. Complex flavour. Spicy, raspberries and strawberries, cloves, mild bitterness. Yes, in my humble opinion, this is a very good beer. As with your experience I found this delightful beer very different from what I was expecting, but I came away loving it. A great beer on a hot summers day but not the sort of beer that you would quaff in any quantity. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pub is next to Trafalgar Square, never been in it before, the Horse and Guardsman. Or Guardsperson, as it will probably be renamed https://www.horseandguardsman.co.uk Nice couple of pints, an IPA and a bitter. Not sure if you’ve been posting in a while Pints, but glad to see you again 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMHO it’s a hangover beer, when you want a coke but you realise you need a slight “kick” to get you going. I wonder what it would be like if you had a slab of it in one go? Perish the thought 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shamus O'Sean Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 Hop Nation - The Punch Mango Sour Mango aroma and flavour cut through by the sour zing. Malt tends to be hidden in sours, but if it wasn't there, you could probably taste the difference. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jennyss Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 Trying James Squire 'Hop Thief' American Pale Ale as a change from the Young Henry's Hazy Pale Ale I have been enjoying alongside my pale ale home brew. I can't work out the hop taste of the Sabro, Galaxy and Mosaic hops which are in this brew. The can says "We looked to the mountains of New Mexico to source the new breed of Sabro hops. Bursting with flavour, they perfectly combine fruit and citrus with undertones of cedar, mint and cream". I didn't think it was that exciting. I'll give it another go tonight. 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classic Brewing Co Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 It's handy when some of the neighbours drinks CPA, there are always one or two floating around in the Bar Fridge, it makes up for when they come over & help me empty the kegs. They say "Possession is 9/10ths of the law" don't they. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classic Brewing Co Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Today an XPA, this is nice & the only reason I bought was the reduced price of $13.00 from $21.00. My IPA in the keg ATM actually kills it for body & taste but it means the keg will last longer. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kegory Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Two Turkish beers, past use by date. Trokya Dakka Pale Ale Foamcano notwithstanding, this is quite nice even if free beer always tastes good. Trokya Mars Red Ale This is good, too. I'd like to try both when they are fresh. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
