High score IPL. The front end of a light IPA and the back end of a lager.

Unusually for these craft places, where almost everything on tap is out of Keykegs, I noticed a Cask Hop Stuff El Dorado. So I had one. I spent the whole pint trying to name its very familiar aroma in the mouth that disappeared immediately I swallowed because of the fairly intense bitterness. I couldn't place it, and somewhere between lychee and kiwi fruit is the nearest I could get. Intriguing but baffling. I'll probably suddenly wake in the middle of the night with the damn fruit's name.

Went on to a Brick DIPA. Clocked at 8.7% in a pedestrian zone, I thought it was going to be an interesting encounter. Very intense tropical fruit salad in a bitter fruit bowl. And instead of it being pale, as the P in IPA would suggest, it was almost ruby and straying into barley wine territory.

1 2/3

Skipton getting pricy for a day out.............. 2 pints of Moretti £9.40 in The Castle pub yesterday, 20p less than I usually pay for 2 Peronis in Leeds.

I hate cucumbers with a vengeance. The only vegetable (fruit?) I can't abide. So the chance to try a Cucumelon Sour from Adnams was too much to resist. Would it still taste of the worst vegetable (fruit?) on the planet or would it somehow transmogrify into a delicious beer?

It still tasted of cucumber. Meh
