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.

My box of Hefe Weizen from Germany (two)

Well here we go with the second lot of German Wheat beers. They were all good.

Schlossbrauerei Grünbach, Grünbacher Urweisse Hell from Germany

 

5.3% cloudy gold in colour with a nice head, nice banana and yeast aroma, taste is very similar.

Back on Fickr

Well I managed to get back on, it took about three days but all is well now.

Now all I have to do is write up all of the beers I missed over the weekend. See you back here soon.

Help

With this blog I use my photos from Flickr, unfortunately I have become logged out of Flickr and can not get any help from Yahoo as to how to get back on. Sorry.

Any help would be appreciated.

My box of Hefe Weizen from Germany (one)

A couple of weeks ago a wrote "I am so sick of gold hoppy English beers, that I have bought a box of 23 assorted wheat beers from Germany, that I will be reviewing soon.", well I have started them and so far they are great. I will review them a few at a time, as I have them, although I do not have the skill to do the best for them.

Arcobräu, Weissbier Hell from Germany

 

5.3% cloudy cold colour with a good head, slightly smoky banana aroma and a classic wheat beer taste. This is an old photo but it was also in the box I bought.

Wolferstetter Bräu, Export Hefe Weizen from Germany

 

5.5% cloudy gold in colour with a thin head, usual yeasty aroma and that nice banana and yeast taste.

Einsiedler Brauhaus, Gutenberg Original Hefe-Weissbier from Germany

 

5.3% hazy gold colour with nice head. aroma is yeast and citrus. taste is wheat and banana.

Bürgerbräu Bad Reichenhall, Unser Bürgerbräu Hefe-Weizen Dunkel from Germany

 

5.2% cloudy light amber with a nice head, very nice wheat beer aroma and taste, very nice.

Easter Beer Festival Beers

Well the Fish (Fishermans Arms) beer festival was quite good. I wasn't there too long but I did sample plenty of beers, and the company was good though. Well here goes.

Merrie City, Cascadian from England

4.0% gold colour with a nice head, unfortunately it was all hops, not too good at all.

Durham, Pale Ice from England

3.9% gold in colour with a nice head, citrus aroma, hops in the tease, not too good.

Durham, Evensong from England

5.0% amber coloured with a nice head, good bitter aroma and taste, not bed at all.

Sonnet 43, India Pale Ale from England

4.4% amber in colour with a good head, malt aroma and taste with some hops, not too bad.

Stackport, Stock Porter from England

4.8% dark colour with a good head, liquorice and chocolate aroma, the taste is the same but sweet, not bad.

Titanic, Plum Porter from England

4.9% dark amber with a nice head, some plum in the aroma and a bit of a flowery taste, not as good as it should be.

Kelham Island, Ace of Spades from England

4.0% amber in colour with no head, not too bad an aroma and taste for a lager, and a fitting tribute to Lemmy.

Maxim, Maximus from England

6.0% deep amber with a good head, fruity aroma, fruity taste and slightly bitter, very nice.

Easter Beer Festivals

Well its Easter Weekend and there are a couple of Beer Festivals on around here. We are off to the Fish (Fishermans Arms) in Hartlepool later this afternoon, hope they have something new and also something good. We shall see, will get back to you latter.
