First week in Feb 2016

With this post I am just about up to date.

Fordham, Copperhead Ale from the USA

 

5.0% amber in colour with a good head, it had a nice aroma and a nice smooth taste, a good American beer.

Leeds, Yorkshire Gold from England

 

4.0% gold colour with a good head, hoppy aroma, citrus hop taste.

Rheinbacher (Aldi), Weissbier from Germany

 

5.0% cloudy gold colour with a thin head, usual aroma and taste, another really good wheat beer. I have been back to Aldi and bought a few more.

Great Yorkshire, Top Of The Hops 2015 from England

 

4.5% cloudy gold in colour with next to no head, nice sweet aroma, bitter toffee hop taste but not too bad. It was four months out of date but I liked it.

2nd part of Jan 2016

I am catching up again, seems quite normal nowadays, I think I am just very slow.

Rudgate, Battle Axe from England

 

4.8% amber colour with a thin head, malty aroma and a nice bitter fruity caramel taste, stronger than the draught version.

Founders, Centennial IPA from the USA

 

7.2% pale cloudy amber in colour with a thin head, a hoppy aroma and a bitter hoppy taste, sorry not very good.

Great Heck, Shankar IPA from England

5.9% pale gold in colour with a poor head, fruity hop aroma, very hoppy taste, not at all good.

Greene King, Double Hop Monster IPA from England

 

7.2 deep gold in colour with a good head, sweet hoppy aroma, it as quite a hoppy taste but not too bad.

That one wasn't at all bad but I think I will have to give IPA a bit of a rest for now.
