Still catching up on some of the beers from the last few weeks, I am very easily distracted from what I am doing and I think that is why I have got so far behind. Hopefully I am getting better at this, we will have to just see how it goes.
St. James’s Gate (Diageo), Hop House 13 Lager from Ireland
5.0% gold colour with a thin head, hop aroma and the taste was not at all like lager, this one is from the makers of Guinness.
Titanic, Mid Atlantic from England
4.5% amber colour with a thin head, some citrus in the aroma and also in the taste.
Banks's, Amber Bitter from England
3.8% amber colour with a nice head, a really average beer and not much different from the Banks’s Bitter, I said average but it was still better than those very hoppy beers.
Baytown, Press Gang's Arrival from England
3.8% pale amber in colour with a thin head, an average pale ale but not too bad.
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).

A set from our French holidays 2016

Coreff, Ambrée (Goularz) from France
5.0% amber in colour with a nice head, malt aroma and taste, it is a bit fizzy but not bad.
Coreff, Blonde (Melen) from France
4.2% gold colour with a thin head, at first it was like Leffe but it was a bit thin, it was weaker after all.
Coreff, Blanche (Gwenn) from France
4.5% hazy yellow in colour with a nice head, a typical French Blanche, slightly bitter.
