Lots of new beers

I have been very lucky over the last couple of weeks, and have amassed quite a few new beers, some I have found myself and several supplied by friends, so my thanks go to Jon, Paul and Tony. I now have so many beers it will take some time to review them all here.
To start here is one from last Saturday.

McMullen, Hertford Castle from England
5.0% gold colour with a thin head, very little aroma, slight taste of Stilton cheese (according to Jonathan I could not place it).



Many thanks to Paul Addams for the beer.

Been Busy

I have been very busy with all these holidays and weddings and stuff but here are last weekends beers.

One that I liked and one that I will not be buying again anytime soon.

Springhead, The Leveller from England
4.8% dark red colour with a thin head, chocolate aroma, bitter chocolate and treacle toffee taste, not to my taste.  It was Brewed in the style of Belgian trappist ales, well I didn't like it. 




And Wadworth, Bishops Tipple from England.
5.5% amber colour with a thin head, nice fruity aroma, bitter grapefruit taste, much better but it seams to have lost 1.0% from its strength.

Lager and lime

In Salou we found a ready mixed lager and lime, now we have had these before but this is the first one that was drinkable.

Damm, Damm Lemon from Spain.



3.2% it does what it says on the can, it's a lager and lime and at a good price.   It tastes exactly like what you would get in any pub in England if you asked for a lager and lime, not for me at all but Dot likes it.

Ambar

The second beer form Spain was practically the same as the first one, but I think I preferred it, it could have been slightly less fizzy than the other one.

La Zaragozana, Ambar Especial from Spain



5.2% gold colour with no head, sweet malt aroma and slightly sweet fizzy taste.

Back Home Again

Back home for a while, so I should be able to catch up on my beer reviews.

Here is one from our trip to Spain, as I have said before, the beer in Spain is not the best in the world but in the heat over there, some are very drinkable.
Damm, Estrella Damm from Spain
5.4% gold colour with no head, sweet aroma and slightly sweet fizzy taste.

Under the Weather

Not feeling too good, so no beers for a couple of days but I felt I should wright something.

Did you know that in some European countries, you can get a beer with your Mcdonald's.

Back Home From Spain

Back home from Spain safely, the beer over there is not the best in the world but I do have some new beers to review.  Also as soon as I get time and have a rest, I will do the day by day blog of the whole trip.

For now, this is what Mick got up to.
