Bad Beer Saturday

I took three beers to Jonathan's on Saturday night and they were all awful, one was a strong stout that should have been nice but it was not at all. Luckily Jonathan had some decent ordinary beers for us to drink and take the taste away. So let's just get on with it, it can act as a warning to you all, although as I have said before, just because I did not like them doesn't mean that you wouldn't.

Gipsy Hill, Envoy from England

4.0% cloudy yellow with no head at all, it had a grapefruit aroma and an acid fizzy bitter fruit taste. This was an awful beer.

Uiltje, Bird of Prey IPA from Holland

 

5.8% gold in colour with a poor head, another one with a grapefruit aroma and another one that tasted not good at all.

Nomad, Hooked On A Teeling Oatmeal Stout from Australia

 

8.0% black in colour with a poor head, a strange aroma probably the whiskey, the taste was nothing like a stout at all and it didn't seem like an 8% beer, sadly some went down the drain.

More beer before Saturday

Well after Wednesdays beers, I was going to give it a miss until Friday or Saturday but I didn't, in fact I drank Thursday and Friday nights. So before I cover Saturdays beers, I will get on with the beers I had between. On both of these nights I just drank beers from my beer fridge and it is still full. Trev and Pat are still away, so that is why we were in on Friday night.

Thursday Night

Basqueland, Aupa All United Pale Ale from Spain

5.2% gold in colour with a thin head, a bitter fruit aroma and a bitter fruit taste, this has not made me look forward to our trip to Spain this year.

Siren, Soundwave IPA from England

5.6% gold in colour with a thin head, a fruit aroma and a sweet fruit taste.

Friday Night

Wiper and True, Blossom Amber Ale from England

 

4.6% hazy amber in colour with a thin head, a nice fruity aroma and the taste is a good amber.

Toast, Bloomin' Lovely from England

 

4.5% deep gold in colour with a poor head, a nice doughy aroma and a slightly bitter taste.

Wylam, Catcher In The Rye from England

 

5.8% gold in colour with a thin head, not much aroma but the taste was quite nice
