Despite being 5.5% ABV and claiming to be the Queen of Beers this was cheap at Asda. About £1.40. Plenty of kick and a slightly sweet edge.

The name of this may have been inspired by Elvis Juice. He did a film called Blue Hawaii featuring a song including the words Rock a Hula.

Ran out of beer earlier so got this from the local Co-Op. Never been a great Robinsons fan but to be fair it's pleasantly inoffensive and keeps a good head. Could do with a few more hops though!

This Tribute is going down too fast. I read somewhere that women are put off by blokes who down pints quickly. I console myself by the fact that this is only 500mls!

From experience it will overpower the others apart from the Porter possibly.

You have chosen the best bottle first!

Due to getting Covid could not attend the funeral of a friend going back to 1961 so am toasting him with a couple starting with an Oakham Citra with a picturesque backdrop.

Re para 2 I wasn't querying the expertise but lamenting the deterioration in tone of one or two of the responses to your posts.

Wow my query looks pathetically simple in this debate which has morphed from.brewing science to philosophy!

Thanks for this and also to Foxy. As I suspected I had not been clear enough in my question. When I referred to an extract brew I should have said "usìng pre hopped extract" and of course kits come with hopped extract. Because so many kits are a bit bland and because I don't enjoy those that...

Thanks. My query might not have been totally clear but it was with reference to a possible extract brew or tweaking of a basic kit or even one that came with hops intended for a dry hop but just using them (or some) in a different way.

This seems to be the most appropriate thread for a query I have. My equipment is ancient and temperature control is very difficult so I have recenty switched to part grain to avoid a mash. I would not rule out kits but many are bland and some come with a large dose of dry hops which I don't...

Now a White Rat.

At the Swan in Ulverston. Oakham JHB. Very nice!

Now a Dark Rock part grain Malvern Pale. Not so hoppy after the Citra!

Oop north in Ulverston with younger son. No pub tonight but here's an Oakham Citra. I had almost forgotten how good it is!

Had this earlier. Anyone visiting the Black Country area would be wise to seek out Holdens or Bathams pubs. This one is just a little sweet so well chilled is better.

Now a Budweiser Budvar. Nice but just out of the fridge is a bit too cold though the upside is that it will slow me down!

Tribute to start. The main problem with this is that it seems to vanish as if by magic!

This is Dark Rock Malvern Pale. A bit hoppy for me so I am acccompanying it with strongly flavoured snacks which counteract it well.
