Harper's "Golden Ale"

Not as strong as their Amber Ale although at the same price. Very refreshing after food


Edit: since writing this, Golden Ale has appeared in an all-new bottle with a snazzy Union flag bottletop - strange thing is that it's now ABV 4.5%

Sierra Nevada Pale Ale

A small 355ml bottle but with a big punch - this crisp pale ale tastes almost like a dark beer with its full and satisfying bitterness; maybe you Yanks know how to brew proper beer after all :Kaleun_Cheers:

Just received a few different beers amongst my fathers day presents off the kids.

Nothing special but coming from my kids makes them kinda priceless if you know what I mean.

I'll take a picture or two soon.

Yes the one above was the first of this year's Fathers Day batch - along with a bottle of Lamb's. I've tried no end of fancy rums but I always come back to Lamb's :Kaleun_Cheers:

Here they be...BREWDOG in particular make some outstanding ales.

Pleasant, creamy, frothy pale ale. Very nice to have with my pizza on Fathers Day

Wickwar 'Golden Arrow' pale ale

Nice alcohol hit in this strong pale ale - a sound and vaguely fruity flavour, but overall a strong ale to be enjoyed on its own rather than with food

Robinsons Special Edition Label

A nut-coloured ale with a malty bitterness tempered by a soft sweetness; very nice to drink slowly

Apparently produced in co-operation with Iron Maiden's vocalist Bruce Dickinson - I wonder whether that just means they kept pouring it down his throat until he fell over.

Moira got this for me just because it's got a zombie on the label and she's a big zombie fan

Marston's "Mythos" Hellenic Beer

What a beautiful beer - a blonde with none of the reedy wheat tastes you might expect - just a soft honeyed flavour with a strong alcoholic punch

Harper's IPA

It does what it says: a very hoppy, strongly bitter ale and very enjoyable on its own. It's described on the till receipt as "American IPA" - despite the neat Union Flag bottle cap and the legend "Proudly brewed in Britain" on the neck label :hmmm:

happy birthday! to the OP! Calls for a brew or Two!
