Weekends Beers Two, Sunday

Well following on from Saturday here are Sundays new beers.

Camerons, Castle Eden Ale from England

4.2% pale amber with a good head, some fruitiness in the aroma, an average bitter beer but not bad. Also it is one that I thought I had done but apparently not, this is one of the first beers I used to drink, when the Castle Eden brewery still existed.

Black Hill, Bottom Busty from England

3.9% black in colour with a good head, it had the aroma and taste of a nice stout although it is a Ruby Ale. Better than the one below.

Allendale, Black Grouse from England

4.0% black in colour with a good head, sweet aroma with a bitter taste.  Not as good as the one above.

Weekends Beers One, Saterday

Well I didn't get out on Friday but I did have a drink Saturday and Sunday. So I will start with Saturdays beers, Sunday will follow on the next blog.

Sharp's, Atlantic from England

 

4.5% gold colour with a thin head, fruity aroma and a very fruity grapefruit taste.

Jennings, Red Breast from England

 

4.5% red in colour with a thin head, not much aroma, not a bad taste but not Christmas.

Marstons, Golden Ginger Beer from England

 

4.0% gold colour with no head, ginger aroma, sweet spicy ginger taste.

Okell's, 1907 from The Isle Of Man

 

6.1% amber colour with a thin head, sweet toffee aroma with a nice hoppy taste.
1907 was the date of the first Isle of Man Tourist Trophy, a motorbike bike race, the best known motorbike bike races in the world. I know because I have been twenty times, from the 70s to the 90s, unfortunately I can no longer afford to get back there.
