Good Pale Ale

Small brewery classic bitter

Traditional Best Bitter, classic

Liquid Ruffle bar, remember them? I only realised they were a gonner when I tasted this! Didn’t expect fireworks but this delivered on flavour and it had a decent mouthfeel too. Carbonation was evident so wasn’t a thick oily boy but it had good depth and a oily consistency

2022 Christmas Advent Beer 6a. Bitterness from the outset is quite assertive. Soon mellows though, very pleasant. Caramel and toffee balance well with an ever-present bitterness. Proper old man’s beer, makes a refreshing change to try something that most would consider twiggy that’s actually decent

2022 Christmas Advent Beer 4. Like drinking an iced coffee with a smidgen of hot chocolate thrown in. Some roast malt notes and mild bitterness there but these are secondary to the sweet coffee flavours.

2022 Christmas Advent Beer 3. A tempered roastiness and a dry finish. Smooth and rather rich for a dry Irish stout. Good beer, I could session on this rather a lot!
