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

Midweek Football

After a two or three rest days, Wednesday was a day for beer. And I needed them, Boro are now nearly bottom of the Champions League after losing again. The club seems to be a right shambles this year, hope they improve before they end up relegated.

Anyway, the beers I had were a right different lot to each other.

Northern Monk, Neapolitan Ice Cream Pale from England

6.2% hazy gold in colour with a thin head, sweet fruity aroma, taste is quite nice with some strawberry in there.

McEwan's, Champion from England

 

7.3%, dark brown colour with a good white head, sweet malt aroma, caramel malt strong slightly bitter taste, one of the best. A Scottish beer now only made in England, this is an older photo from the Scottish days.

Wiper and True, Milk Stout Milk Shake from England

5.6% black in colour with a nice head, it had a nice stout aroma and taste.
