This last week and the beers.

This week was much the same as last week, maybe I should just stick to the beers, although this is the quietest time of the year. We did visit a garden center during the week but all we bought in there was beer, strange that. Will cover the beers next.

On Friday We went to the Hope and Anchor in Greatham, the others wanted to go in there, rather than the Bull and Dog. So I had a few Camerons Strongarms (one if the best beers in the world) but I have covered that one before on here, but here it is again.

Camerons, Strongarm from England

 

4.0% ruby red in colour with a very good head, fruity malt aroma, fruity caramel bitter taste, also good in bottles and cans. My hometown beer, you either love it or hate it, I love it. One photo taken outside the Smiths Arms, also from Greatham village but sadly it is no longer with us.

On Saturday we just stayed in again (back to normal next week) and had the beers I bought in the garden center, well they were all from one brewery in Scotland, Black Isle Brewing, reviews below.

Black Isle Brewing, Goldfinch from Scotland

 

3.5% hazy gold in colour with a thin head, it had a sweet aroma and a bitter taste.

Black Isle Brewing, Red Kite from Scotland

 

4.2% amber in colour with a nice head, a malt aroma, nice malt and liquorice taste.

Black Isle Brewing, Blonde from Scotland

 

4.5% gold in colour with a nice head, not much aroma, fearly sweet taste more of a lager.

Black Isle Brewing, Porter from Scotland

 

4.8% black in colour with a good head, not much aroma but a nice sweet porter taste.
