lau03143 Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Tonight I've had... Old Tom by Robinsons. A strong ale at 8.5%. You can taste the strength, but it grows on you. Quite nice. Also... Löwenbräu Helles. Really nice beer from Munich. Not the best on (I prefer Paulaner and Hofbräu), but no par with Augustiner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monster Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Excellent. Might try and get to the one in Renfrew on Friday at some point. You getting to the alefest? I can't this year due to inconveniences beyond my control. Annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mik Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Couple of pints at the weekend included; Loch Lomond - Haakon (tap) - Lovely, had about 3 or 4 pints of this stuff. Black Sheep Bitter (tap) - Started off well, but I don't really like bitter. Didn't finish it Williams Bros - Roisin (bottle) - Not for me, a bit too fruity and sweet for my taste Lomond Gold (bottle) - Standard blonde - decent enough Ben Nevis (bottle) - Again, decent enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanky_ffc Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 A heads up for anyone who likes German wheat beers; my local Lidl (Inverurie) has Franziskaner for £1.49 a bottle at moment - compared with £1.99 in Tesco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Sorry mate, will be giving it a miss this time round. It was great fun last year, and my glass lasted until December before I dropped it! Enjoy, and let us know how you get on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philpy Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 First one of four tonight - hardknott "infrared", 6.2%. On first taste it is very sweet and bitter, but it leaves a strange sour kind of aftertaste. I can see why sainsburys only want £1.25 a bottle for it. Very dissapointing stuff. 3/10.

Monster Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Bollocks, not only do I miss the festival but a blether with my big pal Tryfield. Hope you lads enjoyed yourselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
)typically Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 harbourIPA.jpg Beer: Harbour Brewing Company - IPA Abv: 5.2% Style: IPA Aromas: Very floral and sweet, almost biscuity. Taste: This is a belter. A reasonably strong IPA with plenty hops (American) but it tastes smooth and drinkable, almost like it's about 4 %. This is very similar to Brewdog Punk IPA in fact. It's got that wholehearted and robust finish but there's a tiny bit of sweetness too. I've never before heard of Harbour Brewing Company from Cornwall but I certainly will be looking out for them in future. This is a cracker. 8/10 Just drank a bottle of this purchased from Valhalla's Goat. It was completely sour, draw your cheeks in stuff. Strangely it was drinkable but I decided to stop drinking as I suspect it was off. It was dated January 2014 but something was not right, there was no bitterness from the hops just a completely sour lemony taste. I have drank enough IPAs to know that this was not normal. Also it was very cloudy. I also had a bottle of Fyne Ales Jarl tonight and it was tremendous. Id say the best sub 4% beer I have had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearwithme Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 My weekend ales were Oakham Scarlet Macaw and Oakham Green Devil IPA. Hoppy brilliance especially the 6% GD. The Alloa Beer Festival is on 18 & 19 October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely love Oakham beers, not had one that I've not liked yet. Bishop's Farewell and Citra being the sand outs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
