Likewise-I've just had a marmalade & rye IPA from Tempest ...you could taste the marmalade but it wasn't too over the top and the rye added a pleasantly nutty undertone (one more from the bottleshop at Salt Horse).
Yup that's good stuff.

Ooh heck, you've just reminded me that the Deptford Taproom have some Brew By Numbers Raspberry Sour. It had only just been delivered yesterday and it was too lively to serve straight away. I'm going to have to put on more clothes than the boxer shorts I've been languishing in all day!
Not sure a string vest will improve the overall outfit....

If you spill enough food down you the holes disappear.
Anyhow, just look at it and tell me whether you'd drink it. It wasn't Brew by Numbers, it was a Fierce Beers Very Berry, but there was a whole bundle of raspberry in it. Fruitissimo. Gorjuice.
As the temperature was still hovering around the 30s, I drank the next indoors where there's A/C.
It's a Pohjala Kirg. A ''what??'' you might say. I gather it's an Estonian craft beer with passionfruit in it. Students of glass size will know that it's 2/3rds of a pint. And I think it's only 2/3rds of a beer. It starts well, continues equally well but it fades away before the end.

I'd definitely give it a crack....

Oh, I forgot to mention I quite accidentally ended up having a Yorkshire beer session over the weekend. Northern Monk Eternal. A session IPA, pretty hoppy but with a rich, fruity front. A big flavour and very drinkable. While I was in Leeds I had a North Brewing Sputnik. A little more austere than the Eternal with nowhere near as much fruitiness. Good though. Then I found myself in the Dog and Bell drinking a NYPA, which is a North Yorkshire Pale Ale. God's oversupply of hoppiness all in one glass. A little too overpowering for my tastebuds. Venturing further into Yorkshire, Wold Top's Headland Red rounded things off a good deal. So I went on to a Wold Top Golden Arrow, which, despite its light straw-coloured appearance hammered home a deeply bitter hoppiness. I should have stayed with Leeds brews.

Much mirth when this went on last night; "zero IBUs? ZERO!? The wallies. Nothing can have zero IBUs"
Then we tasted it and realised. It obviously broke the meter and, so, was immeasurably bitter.

And secondly, from arguably Manchester's two best breweries:
A little sweet to my mind but good.

I think they really do mean 0 IBUs. Theoretically you get bitterness from alpha acid isomerization which only takes place over a given temperature. Late whirlpool hopping once the temp has dropped and dryhopping should add hoppiness, but not bitterness.
