If you know me or of me, you will know I like beer. Over the last few years I have been collecting photos of every new beer I have.
I now have over 2,000 individual beers photographed and have realised that many beers that I assumed I have photos of, I haven't.

This blog will be therefore be an account of my quest for new beers to photo and how I enjoyed them (or not).

Beer from Lidl last week.

Last week I got a few cans of beer from Lidl, it was only weak but to me it was relatively normal bitter strength. Anyway I have had a few beers by the same makers, well with the same name that is and all from Lidl. So here goes, some of the older Lidl beers may not even be made nowerdays.

Hatherwood, Original Bitter from England

Hatherwood, Original Bitter, England

3.6% amber colour with a nice head, a nice ordinary bitter smell and taste. I say ordinary but it was very cheap and therefore not bad at all for what it is.

Hatherwood, Premium Bitter from England

Lidl, Hatherwood Premium Bitter, England?

4.0% deep amber colour with a good but diminishing head, sweet fruity aroma, good fruity bitter taste. There we go again not a bad beer, some say that this beer is from Germany but I am not sure.

Hatherwood, Ruby Rooster from England

3.8% deep amber colour with a nice head, malt aroma, bitter toffee taste. Yet another one well worth the price.

Hatherwood, Golden Goose from England

3.8% golden colour with a thin head, average bitter aroma and taste. Only average but then again it was very drinkable.
