Beer with a Zoom day

On Wednesday afternoon we had a Zoom meet, it was supposed to be for a BBQ but was mainly to meet up and have a drink with friends. This went on from 14:30 to around 20:30 with plenty of drinks and three of them where new beers to me.

Bad Co, The Shy Retirer from England

 

2.8% slightly hazy gold in colour with a thin head, not much aroma and a hoppy taste, very weak and very easy to drink.

Moor, Revival from England

3.8% very cloudy yellow in colour with a poor head, hop aroma and very hoppy taste. Not good at all.

Atlas Brewing, Latitude from England

 

3.9% gold in colour with a good head, hop aroma and taste but not too bad.

And there was another new beer from the day before.

Signature Brew, Roadie from England

4.3% slightly cloudy yellow in colour with a thin head, hoppy aroma, some malt and lots of hops in the taste.

Slow start to May

Well we are still here, the new beers are running low but I have ordered some more from the net. I did have one order not turn up, they had run out of beers but never thought to let people know. I did get my money back from them though but only after I complained that it hasn't turned up.

So I have slowed down the drinking of new beers, I think it could be a good thing though, as I am mainly drinking good beers now.

As for this lockdown, I actually went out in the car last week, we drove to ASDA, picked up a Click and Collect and drove home. I do not know how to put up with the excitement. Anyway the beers for early May are,

Naparbier, ZZ Amber Ale from Spain

 

5.5% cloudy light amber in colour with a thin head, a very hoppy aroma and taste, half went down the drain.

Buxton, Buxton SPA from England

 

4.1% hazy gold in colour with a thin head, a citrus hop aroma and taste.

Saison, Saison Dupont from Belgium

 

6.5% hazy gold in colour with a thin head, sweet aroma, the taste was sweet hops.

Vibrant Forest, Kaleidoscope from England



6.5% hazy amber in colour with a poor head, a fruity aroma and a bitter fruity hop taste, there was however a lot of yeast in the bottle and glass.
