If you want a really refreshing drink in summer go for gin and bitter lemon and if anyone hasn't tried it, don't give me yer shite until you've tried it. Almost every time I'm on a work night out I get slagged for it until they try it. FWIW I bought this tonight and am now tucking in. So far it's very nice. Are you sure the bold bit is supposed to be in this post? It really doesn't square logically with what you have written and pictured.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Naitch Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 I really want to enjoy gin but just can't get into it at all. It's the prospect of wasting £15/£20 on a bottle of the stuff then hating it after the first sip. Recommendations are appreciated. I'll stick to what I know for now. Tonight has been the usual combo of Disco Forklift Truck, Tennent's and a damn good spiced rum. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I freeze any fruit I put in rather than use ice. Cucumber and berries work well too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've got some use after all, Sarge. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's around £15 as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Pretty sure I saw a 'double' Disco Forklift Truck, but like other 'doubles', such as double Joker and Punk, I don't see the point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Double Joker is fine but its not a patch on the original. I've got nothing against a double/imperial IPA, and I've had some good ones, but I agree, I don't really see the point of taking an already good beer and just making it stronger 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's better than the original. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 No had a drink for 8 days, very excited to be cracking open the Fyne Ales Helles mini keg this evening. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Sad to report that I'm not that impressed with the Fyne Lager. Carbonation is less than I personally like but more importantly, given they are calling it Helles style, they have gone for some new world floral hops which pretty makes makes it a hybrid lager/IPA 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tongue_tied_danny Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 St Andrews Yippie IPA. Nice enough but at 6% it's slightly too strong. You can taste the strength. I wouldn't want more than 3 or 4 of these in one evening. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
