A couple of new to me beers in a 'Spoons earlier in the week: a Greene King IPA. (I've had plenty of Abbots before.) Trouble is that I can't really remember much about it. Then I had a Marston's Old Empire IPA, which I remember noting as a bit like the Greene King pint but a bit more intense. Average marks all round.
Last night, a Siren Suspended in Spelt. I've had their Suspended in Space before and enjoyed it. The spelt version was just a little cloudier, tropical fruit bomb at the front, short afterburn with hints of aniseed.
Tonight (owing to unseasonable warmth), an Anspach and Hobday Saison. If beer ever tried to create a scrumpy.....
And, in what looks like a sequence out of a random word generator, a Harbour Puffin Tears IPA. A mango-nosed bit of fun.
All finished off with a Wiper and True Bristol Crush. First impression was that it was a pretty good beer that had been watered down a little. But I ended up really enjoying its light grapefruitiness and light lemon aftertaste. It'd be an excellent après vélo beer.
There's another 5 new ones to the total.
