Some cans I have had for ages

I have not been out much over the last couple of weeks but that doesn't mean that I haven't had anything to drink. I have been getting through some of the beers I have had in the fridge for ages. The first two are cans, both fairly strong ones and both from our last visit to France.

Castelain, Dagsbier Biere Forte from France

7.0% gold in colour with a good head, it had a mild aroma and a strong taste of alcohol. It was the same as Karlsberg, Dagsbier Bière Forte from Germany only 1% weaker

Belle France (Saint-Omer), Bière Spéciale Blonde Extra Forte from France

8.0% gold in colour with a good head, the aroma was of alcohol and tin but it had a smooth strong taste.

A set from our French holidays 2016

During our first trip to France in 2016, I had a set of beers from the Coreff brewery. I thought I would cover these together but separate from the others.

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.

Local Beers

I will be back to the German beers next post but for now here are some local beer I had last week. The first two are from a wedding we went to and one is from a local pub.

Hadrian Border, Grainger Ale from England

 

4.6% gold in colour with a thin head, malt aroma, some bitter caramel in the taste.

Hadrian Border, Tyneside Blonde from England

3.9% gold in colour with a nice head, sweet aroma and a dry citrus taste, it is good. This is just the new label, I have had it before.

North Yorkshire, Thor's Hammer from England

4.8% gold colour with a nice head, not a bad aroma or taste, so not bad for organic beer.
