Pelle, Pinot noir. Just poured myself one just now - it's alright but I won't be seeking it out when I get back to Blighty! The white is a Pelee Chardonnay.

Yah Peller can be hit or miss, what is the white you got? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CityDave Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 The Trooper Beer from Robinson's brewery inspired by the song of the same name by Iron Maiden is the beverage I will be trying out this afternoon, see what its like. This is the first time I've seen it in Inverness, £1.50 in ASDA just now. Same label on the bottle as the top pic. Reading up on it this was launched in 2013. I don't normally break curfew normally (before 12) but I'll try this out now. ........yep this is nice, slightly bitter which I like in English beers especially the northern ones. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eednud Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 James Squire Cabin Fever IPA. On special at a local bottle shop. Another fine beer from Malt Shovel Brewery and very hoppy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek Patterson Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Eventually got to try "Hazy Jane" from Brewdog earlier. Absolutely delightful stuff. A right tropical b*****d. Currently trying to get through some strawberry cider that the missus got. Tastes like the strawberry laces you got as a bairn. Absolute sloosh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a birthday present and it's pretty decent, unfortunately the missus bought cheap tonic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tongue_tied_danny Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 (edited) Lindemans oude gueuze. I got a couple of bottles this from Brewdog. A very sour lambic beer from Belgium. I like it though it wouldn't be to everyone's taste. Its the beer equivalent of soor plooms.

At home, Mrs Bold likes her Brockman's, McQueen's etc, with the appropriate Fever Tree tonic, with garnishes of bramble, grapefruit, chilis and numerous other things. I go along with it p Here in Ottawa, senor, we've opened the Pelle Chardonnay. It's ok.

Mrs Soupe doesn't like Gin, nor Tonic, but was at the supermarket this week and texted me me if we needed anything. I said Canada Dry Tonic, ended up with the much worse President's Choice tonic. As for your wine, I'm not big on Chardonnay's in general so don't know that one. For an Ontario white, try Chateau des Charmes Sauvignon Blanc or if you want something sweeter Inniskillin's Riesling-Pinot Grigio blend is nice, as is their Late Autumn Riesling if you want something really sweet Edited August 11, 2017 by senorsoupe 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
