I got to try it yesterday. In fairness, it is not my style of beer but I did want to try.
I didn't much like it

Had a message from him last night asking who Flozza was? I’ve never actually called him that, but he seems to quite like it.
BBNo are turning out some solid stuff these days.
Floris tells me Deya are the guys to look out for right now.

I've just sampled a superbly sibilant Siren Soundwave Citra Session IPA. Beer amnesia prevented me from remembering I've already had one of these earlier in the year so all I'll say is that it tastes like this:
A chilly wind forced an indoors Bad Seed Code Blue Wit. I'm no expert with Wit beers so perhaps I shouldn't have been surprised to taste so much hoppiness in it.
A can of BBNo DDH IPA currently underway. The can says it's a Number Two, which coincidentally is where I tend to do my number twos. A good beer, with a floral touch and helpings of houblons.
[Edit] I discovered that, though I've had Siren Soundwave IPA before, the Citra session IPA is a different beer and Taproom staff didn't think it was as good as the ''standard'' Soundwave. Nevertheless, I enjoyed its light grapefruitiness.

I like the giant straw you have there...I've just sampled a superbly sibilant Siren Soundwave Citra Session IPA. Beer amnesia prevented me from remembering I've already had one of these earlier in the year so all I'll say is that it tastes like this:
I've had a few decent offerings from Unbarred lately, which is a brewery in Hove Actually. The lemongrass saison is a fruity salty kiss. Lovely.
The summer shout is like a winter coffee stout but light in colour. Close your eyes and you wouldn't know. Not sure what that's about but it's good chilled. The weirdest thing is the can says, 'A unique pale stout made from Nicaraguan coffee cherry tea'
Modern life, tsk!

The things they say about beer!
This is the blurb on this one:
We have love for each other, love for brewing and a serious love of sharing our beer with everyone. [Oedipus] Mannenliefde is a brew to free beer from predominant ideas about beer as a masculine drink, it’s about openness and vulnerability and diversity. And we’re the odd ones? That’s just silly. We’re pretty sure that we all have taste buds, and beer really doesn’t care if you’re a man, a woman, or a magical unicorn. (Total plus if you are )
And this one:
[Siren] Liquid Mistress is our femme fatale - mysterious, seductive and disarming. She draws and charms drinkers with her full, red colours. You will soon desire her biscuit-and-burnt-raisin malt base and peachy grapefruit spark. Her devious hop hit will steal your breath.
So there you have it, gender in a glass....
Anyhow, the Oedipus Mannenliefde won prizes at the Dutch Beer Challenge 2018 but didn't work for me: a highly malted lager is about all I can say about it. The Siren Liquid Mistress was a bizarre journey through treacle toffee and Pontefract Cakes. Apparently, seduction is about a trip back to an olde worlde sweet shop.

Villages local under the railway arches brewery did a collaboration with Unbarred a couple of months back.
And it was good. Intense and fruity.
So is Hove Actually actually a place?
It was the standard response from up-themselves Hovites when we were two separate towns and somebody asked them if they were from Brighton...
..."No, Hove actually..."

The fact that Wednesday has scrolled around again jogged my memory. This time last week I was staying away at a meeting (boo!) at yet another Premier Inn near to Bristol. The hotel had a proper pub attached rather than one of the usual dull chains. I had a very good pint of best bitter and then a few of these:
The fact that I 'had a few' is exactly the reason I can't remember the name of any of the beers involved. This one (I do recall) was some sort of apricot beer. I haven't ever had a fruit influenced beer before thinking they were a bit hipster but, I was wrong.
The flavour did not over power the usual beer flavours; they were still there. The apricot gave a mere hint in nose and on palate.
The pub might have been The Ship? If that's your local, I wouldn't mind knowing the name of this one.

If it was the Ship Inn, Alveston, and tasted of orange, it could have been a Blue Moon....https://www.chefandbrewer.com/pubs/avon/ship-inn/menu/drinks-menu/group-11014 but yours tasted of apricot so it wasn't.....
