Another couple of new to me from Asda.
The Salt was a bit dull, couldn't seem to make it's mind up what flavour it should be.
The Kirkstall was lovely, lots of flavour and very quaffable.

I've not tried the Salt DIPA but their core range seems to specialise in a very grapefruity Citra flavour. I'd be surprised if it didn't also end up with a citric base.
I've had some good Kirkstall Beers. They're not as well known as Northern Monk or North but at least they rescued North brewing when they overreached.
Brewed by Marstons in Wolverhampton, and sold in Home Bargains for 99p.
Looks and tastes exactly like Pedigree.

I used to love a pint of Pedigree. The idea of it being brewed in Wolverhampton instead of Burton is horrific thoughCarlsberg have a lot to answer for.
For those that love a blonde - I had Westmalle Duo (NOT Dubbel) at the weekend. It's a blend of the Tripel and the Extra (which is the 5% beer the monks drink themselves and is occasionally found bottled outside the abbey). It's only available on draught I think, and it's a new venture. It was extremely drinkable and very, very dangerous at 7.2% - went down more like a 6% if that.
Westmalle Tripel is one of my favourites so I will look out for the Duo on my next trip to Belgium ... 👍
