Wife is having JD & Coke. For me the Proof of Concept, a DDH session IPA at 4.3%. It’s pale and is quite hoppy. I get the grapefruit, lemon and orange, not so much the peach but there’s a hint in the finish perhaps.
What are you drinking tonight 2021?

YES!! When December comes, no-one cares! At least, that's how it rolls in our house!
Well day 2 is a bit of a stunner if you ask me! How the hell do they get those flavours?
EVERY month is December for me!

I refer you to my last comment
No seriously, it wasn't unpleasant but it's really never seen real raspberry - clearly artificially flavoured. I do buy this sort of beer myself but purists wouldn't be impressed by it.
On the positive side, the large sized can is impressive. I must've done something right with my kids to want them to treat me in this way. They're awesome.

I really disliked that one as it was a total mechanical flavour. Not for me.I refer you to my last comment

2 nd can of this from a box of 24 and again the glass is full of yeasty floaters. Expected better to be honest. Does not detract from the flavour just bad quality control.

Flavour concentrates, i tried that one and it tasted nasty to me, artificial like some bad cheap squash drink.View attachment 58598

Edit:- lots of their beers have concentrated flavours added, parma violets, mallow laser quest, hazy jane guava, elvis juice etc etc.

Coffee and vanilla porter from BBNo tonight. Maybe a little on the sweet side for my liking but still going down nicely!
Oops! Sorry...got engrossed with cooking and TV! Yep...got the same!
We've started watching him too, he's cool. We've been to goole today shopping, so not that far off Retford to be fair.
Next up this Secret City at 6.5%. I’m not so keen on watermelon flavours in beer but fortunately there’s a lot more going on.

Last one of these I had the can was very cold. I let this one warm up a bit and the difference is noticeable. Lots of chocolate aroma and flavour with a nice full creamy taste with the lactose and a decent coffee finish. A very decent beer.
First try wilko thirsty Red Devil, I used the kit and 1kg of dme and 450gr of dark sugar, it is really clear and tastes very good
