First from March, 2021

We have both just had our birthdays, quite a change this year, as we are usually away for them. We had just got back from our birthdays away last year and went into Lock Down. We have used the van for a few days in September but that is it and it is off the road now having failed its MOT,

Anyway after moaning about about the beers I have been drinking for the last few months, a batch of German beers I got where very nice. here is the review of the first three.

And Union, Wednesday Wheat Beer from Germany

 

5.0% gold in colour with a good head, a sweet fruity aroma and it had a nice fruity wheat beer taste.

And Union, Dark Lager from Germany

 

5.0% ruby red in colour with a thin head, not much aroma but a nice fruity taste. 

And Union, Friday IPA from Germany

 

6.5% slightly hazy amber in colour with a good head, it had a malt and hop aroma, the taste was a good old IPA taste, very nice.

The rest from February, 2021

Even beers from Belgium have not been very good lately. Maybe its just because I have not been out of the house for more than a quick walk in months. Maybe things will get better when we do get out and go to the pub. Maybe some of these modern breweries will fold when we do get back out.

St Feuillien, Saison from Belgium

 

6.5% gold in colour with a good head, it had a sweet aroma, with a mild but strange taste. 

St Feuillien, Grisette Blanche Bio from Belgium

 

5.5% hazy gold in colour with a very thin head, a sweet aroma and a bitter wheat taste. 

By The Horns, Hopadelic from England

4.3% hazy gold with a nice head, a sour fruit aroma, a bitter fizzy hop taste. 

First three in February, 2021

Still not drinking many new beers and to tell the truth, the vast majority of the beers I have bought online during the lockdown have not been very nice at all. If you have been reading this over the years you will have noticed this. Anyway here we go with February.

Flavourly / By The Horns, Drifter from England

4.5% deep gold in colour with a thin head, it had a hop aroma and the taste was not bad but hoppy.

Arcade Beerworks, 2 (Pale Ale) from Scotland

3.8% hazy gold in colour with a thin head, it had a bland aroma and a hoppy taste.

Hilden, Dunlop & Hume from Northern Ireland

4.0% hazy gold in colour with a thin head, not much aroma but a mild hoppy taste.
