More Cans

Had a few cans lately (I did three of them in my last post), so I will carry on doing them, in fact this may take a few posts to do the lot.

Tennent's, Special from Scotland

3.6% pale amber in colour with a thin head, not much aroma and a weak bitter taste, had this one in Scotland on a recent trip and it did for then.

Shepherd Neame (Lidl Hatherwood), Twisted Knots American IPA from England

5.5% amber in colour with a thin head, some grapefruit in the aroma and toffey and malt in the taste.


Shepherd Neame (Lidl Hatherwood), Bitter Iron IPA from England

5.4% dark gold in colour with a thin head, citrus aroma and a hop malt taste.

Brooklyn, Summer Ale from the USA

5.0% gold in colour with a thin head, malty aroma and a slightly sweet hop taste.

I started with the Tennent's which was only ok but it was better than the others.

Lidl Beers

Lidl brought out six beers in a group numbered One to Six, some of them I have had before but I think some are new. So I have just tried them all as new and these are my new thoughts and new photos.

Hatherwood (Lidl), The Golden Goose no1, England

 

3.8% amber in colour with a thin head, bitter aroma and slightly weak bitter taste but smooth.

Hatherwood (Lidl), The Green Gecko no2, England

 

5.0% amber colour with a thin head, it had a bitter aroma and a nice mild hoppy taste.

Hatherwood (Lidl), The Amber Adder no3, England

 

4.3% deep amber in colour with a good head, fruity aroma and a bitter taste, not too bad.

Hatherwood (Lidl), The Ruby Rooster no4, England

 

3.8% deep amber colour with a nice head, malt aroma, dry bitter toffee taste.

Hatherwood (Lidl), The Purple Panther no5, England

 

5.0% black in colour with a thin head, smoky aroma and a nice smooth taste.

Hatherwood (Lidl), The Ginger Grizzly no6, England

 

4.0% pale yellow colour with no head, sweet ginger aroma, very fizzy ginger taste not at all like beer.
