Crusty Posted March 31, 2015 Author Share Posted March 31, 2015 I won't argue with the sentiment there :cvcsalut: but lets not judge a book by it's cover, what's it like? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lt DeFault Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 A little on the bitter side. Visible yeast after chilling. Other than that, it's a basic, bold IPA. Lots of grapefruit/citrus flavor. Wouldn't be my first choice by taste, and definitely not by price. It was $11 and some change for a six pack! (~€10.50!) I guess freedom really isn't free. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusty Posted April 5, 2015 Author Share Posted April 5, 2015 This one from Innis and Gunn is different, Scotch Whisky Porter, I loved it , but I think it won't be to everyones taste. http://innisandgunn.com/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lt DeFault Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 I'm no connoisseur, so I'm not sure if this qualifies as a "mild", but this has become one of my favorite beers: Cheers! :drink: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibsonm Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Not quite a beer, admittedly, but someone gave me some Rekorderlig Cider yesterday. Mixed wild berries taste and 4% No idea if its typical of Swedish beverages or if its like "Fosters" (the dross we exported to the world, so we didn't have to drink it here). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithcorp Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Psst! That's a bit of a metrosexual drink... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a lot of flavoured ciders like that in the UK now, they're very refreshing on a hot summers day, but a bit too easy to drink :bigsmile: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a bit of a metrosexual drink...Don't worry I still have Bundy and Coke as the usual drop (but as that's not a beer I haven't mentioned it here previously), as I say this was just handed to me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crusty Posted June 20, 2015 Author Share Posted June 20, 2015 On a recent trip to Wrocław Poland I was able to sample some of the local beers, I had three from the Fortuna Brewery the one in the picture is made with Mirabelka plums, very nice on a hot summer day. Both beers from the Ksiazece Brewery were very nice, and very different to each other the lighter one more like a cloudy wheat beer. The Porter from Zywiec Brewery though a Larger tasted almost like the Porters I'm used to in the UK, very nice. The only one I didn't like was a Larger called Tyskie. all in all very nice beers 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lt DeFault Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 A co-worker turned me on to this beer: I like it a lot. Very mild with a hint of citrus. 6% alcohol. Advertised as being "Blended with beer aged on tequila barrel staves" (the boards used to make a barrel). Curiously, the bottle also says, "Brewed [...] in Houston, TX and Williamsburg, VA". The latter being right down the road from where I live. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get the Texas Brew. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crusty Posted July 17, 2015 Author Share Posted July 17, 2015 Trooper beer from the Robinsons brewery, very nice easy drinking, if this on the bar I often go for a pint of this, unfortunately I don't see it in pubs much down in Kent, but it's available in the supermarkets. And here's an article about background of it's creation, as it says it's exported to 42 countries so it might be available where you are. http://classicrock.teamrock.com/features/2015-07-16/10-000-000-pints-how-iron-maiden-rocked-the-brewing-industry 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
