Aye, generally regarded as the first of the 80's revival British golden ales. Not a bad drop at all.
What are you drinking tonight 2021?

Another from Verdant, Headband pale ale.
Citra, Mosaic, Chinook and Columbus with
Munich and Crystal malts - very quaffable orangey hop bomb.

If you are in the South West may I suggest you seek out Jail Ale which is a very good traditional bitter in the bottle?
Hi Mick I am in Somerset near Watchet Doniford bay, I have had jail ale and it really is a good ale the last 3 beers I have posted are local ales to the southwest but the crispy pig is not for me, going to Wells tomorrow let’s see what I can find there 
So I did this, I'm not proud of it, except I sort of am and about 20 Pints of it got guzzled at a party on Saturday so its a crowd pleaser. I used Strawberry Silk Sheets from Wolf brewing as the base recipe, brewday was a mare, stuck mash, stuck Sparge, water volume all to pot...but it came out okay in the end.
It tastes exactly like it sounds Strawberry Nesquik Beer...which is not as bad as it sounds I promise....

Fruit tea for me. Aldis finest.
Could have murdered a pint tonight as I had a stressy work day. So that's probably the best time to not have one, if you see what I mean.
Going to brew tomorrow, so at least I'll be looking at beer by the end of it!

First taste of an IPA based on nick90's recipe, I bottled some with extra dry-hopping, which I marked with an H on the crown cop, and am now drinking. And I'm looking at he colour, and thinking, is that oxidised like people keep talking about, but it tastes all right to me, and then I go back to the recipe and have a look, and see the amount of crystal malt, and think, yeah, that colour doesn't look unreasonable, but then finally think, yeah, it's all good then! So thanks, nick! 
Crown and glory in the crown Wells, this so good a cracking pint
Varying on with the good stuff, got some Belgium’s for later

Spring Lightning legged in March nearly gone.
Sat in the back garden, listening to the Wedding Present, reading "Additives Adulterants and Contaminants in Beer (Patton), enjoying the last of the sun and perhaps the last of the summer?
First up, my 'Golden' California Common. Still too young, has a funny yeast bite. I think. Might be something else - I tend to get it in very light beers sometimes. Ignore the weeds. I am.

Nice! Infinitely better than their 'Tinners' (personally I'm not a big fan of that)
Next up; air guitar with the youngest to the Wedding Present, and GW's Double Diamond Export. Not a bad recipe, this, from his Euro book.
Does it work wonders?
So myself and the hubby have rejoined Beer 52. First order arrived today. We have just tried this, and it was so disgusting I gave my half to Jim. Really peculiar taste and not the colour I was expecting.
My son offered me a shot of his posh vodka instead, which is absolutely amazing! Tastes just like those barley sugar sweets I used to have when I was little. Put a drop of lemonade in though as I can’t do straight vodka!

It's a different recipe to the keg pish, was sold bottled as export and is rumoured to be the basis for the relaunched Ind Coupe cask Burton Ale that was relaunched in the late 80s, I believe. Either way, it's not a bad drop.
