It's going to get interesting.

The rum and raisin, and the chocolate and raspberry first I think. I'll save the chilli until later.
5 & 15 are both very nice, iirc. The only Blue Monkey beers I've had are "BG Sips" and "Ape Ale", but both of those were good 'uns.

I did try to get some but the new suppliers I appointed let me down.
:ohmy:

It's luvverly. Mine was a bit more than 17p, sadly.

The DIPA is the tipple as I write. It's excellent, but I don't know as I could tell it from a dozen other decent DIPAs, and I can't really pick out the Citra with all the other big-hitting hops going on. The Body Riddle is a winner - a zingy quaffable nicely balanced easy-going thing. VoG's Dark Matter is more licorice than blackcurrant, with a nice dry finish - lovely. The Gaucho has Yerba Mate in it - unlike the grains-of-paradise thingy from the same brewer, the additions are slightly understated, but I'd give it another go. I'm a huge fan of the Hitachino Nest Ginger Beer, although there may not be much to it apart from the brilliant label, the Marmion-friendly owl cap and the fact that it tastes like I always hope ginger beer will taste and almost never does - of actual beer with a big fresh gingery slap, rather than like a soft drink with suggestion of beeriness. Sugar Rush is, as you might expect, way too much. I shan't be invoking the Trade Descriptions Act. The pineapple sour is pineappley and sour, so I like it - I'm sophisticated like that.

Unadventurous but tasty and comforting.
