Made a rare (these days anyway) foray into the beer aisle at Sainso's this morning and came away with 3 bottles of Hobgoblin and 2 bottles of Weston's Cloudy Vintage cider, all to be consumed tonight.

20221205_185002 by uh_simon, on Flickr

A soft and smooth pale with a hint of Rhubarb - bit odd but not unpleasant


Beer 6 From Tuesday:

Dark with alot of body - rich and toasty - nicer than the Landlord Pale.

Bishops Finger is £1.29 in Aldi (500ml bottle). Perfect for this chilly weather.

That looks good, not too strong either, will keep an eye out.

I remember drinking the Landlord when it was called Ram Tam ale , very nice as you say.

Beer 7 from Wednesday - Whiplash Lager from Baron Brewing

20221207_200007 by uh_simon, on Flickr

refreshing and zesty (lemons and limes) lager - nice and easy drinking....

 

[James Evans]

Had a couple of pints of Greene King Icebreaker last night in the pub. Really nice, not had it before, and I see on offer in Tesco at the moment (added to next week's shopping list...)

now catching up after a few days away - from Thursday, beer 8, is a DIPA from Baron Brewing called Hot Cakes

20221210_131838 by uh_simon, on Flickr

Loads of hoppy bitterness, nice

next up from day 9 - is a collab between Abbeydale and Ascension Cider, called Funk Dungeon Pull of Gravity. In reality it is sour made with supermarket rejected eating apples

20221210_160720 by uh_simon, on Flickr

lightly acidic, apple flavour and very fresh - pretty nice sour

 

[Ponty]

This is damn good stuff, made up the road. Nicer than Proper Job IMHO.

 

[Ponty]

On to this, lovely stuff. £1.29 in Aldi.

beer 10, which should have been yesterday is a Imperial Gose made with cherries from the Põhjala brewery in Estonia - 8%


20221211_162554 by uh_simon, on Flickr

a blast of sour cherries, then into bitter sweet. Interesting

Beer 11: Vatted Porter from the Kernel Brewery 7.5%

20221212_185308 by uh_simon, on Flickr

Interesting dark yet tangy flavour profile. Made to an original 1864 Bass porter recipe, but fermented in an oak ex Bordeaux red wine barrel for 9 months. I guess this is where it gets its fruity wine tang from. The is of course some roast malt bitterness.

If you enjoy or want to sample Timothy Taylor’s range, their online shop currently offers free delivery and, if you use code TT-STUFF22, a 10% reduction. I just ordered the 24 bottle mixed case and it comes at pennies over £2 per bottle - also far preferable to visiting the shops.
Enjoy
