I'm so glad the football didn't go into extra time. If it had, I wouldn't have managed to catch this Tiny Rebel Peaches and Cream IPA sunning itself by the weekend's black plastic refuse sacks by the 1830s carriage ramp up to Deptford Station.
A smoothly lush IPA that gently backed up the taste hint provided by its name. It lacked that certain satisfying tang though and eventually left an accumulated aftertaste of the weed that my neighbours smoke on their balcony. When I was asked by the server what I'd thought of the beer, I told her and got a kind of that.is.so.random response. Serves her right for asking.
Here's a clear beer, a cask one for a change: Hop Stuff Ekuanot. Interesting to taste what a brewery can do with a single hop beer. Slightly floral at the front, it gave a strong and lingering, dark hoppiness at the back.
Falling foul of my golden rule of drinking the sour first, I drank it last: A Weird Beard Sour Slave. (In my defence, it had only just come on line.) It's a changing dry hopped kettle sour so anyone else who tries I might get a different version. It gave me that impression of eating slightly under-ripe freshly picked fruit. So that's a good thing.
Back home and having a Picnic (Belleville Session IPA). I bought a few of these in a Majestic Wines place a couple of days ago. They're a Wandsworth lot and it's a pretty good beer. The tin says it's ''can-tastically hoppy'' but it's not overly hopped. I'll look out for it in a pub because they do cask beers decently.
