Probably the locallest beer I bought at this year's Nantwich Food Festival, bought from the head brewer herself.

This is a new one in their roster, and it's very good. There's a lot of grapefruit citrus in the taste, and that's all I got at first. Behind that though is a pleasant, peppery spiciness (would that be from the yeast?) and also a sort of creamy vanilla-ness. Not one for people who dislike a big hop hit, but it's certainly not one dimensional either, great stuff.

EDIT: Mrs M says: "Very nice".

I'm drinking the three hop duval curently but didn't want to make too much of it (as it cost a whole 17p...!)
Tried it against the Pirat Three hop yesterday... the Duval has a grape musk smell and taste in comparison and personally preferred the Pirat, although both are rather good.

The rum and raisin, and the chocolate and raspberry first I think. I'll save the chilli until later.
Agree... no.6 may just kill the taste buds! Blue bee sounds great. I miss going to the pub :sad: (bloody kids)

I did eventually get to the craft beer gaff in Siena last week, when it was open.
I was the only customer at 6pm so it was a bit soulless that early, but needs must.
They had a selection of their own brews of which I tried two. The PIA was the pick. Strong flavoured, citrus and musty.
The furniture looked like a kids nursery.
