This is my favourite ipa that subtle hint of malt in the back ground dose it for me
Quite a nice pint.
Alright a double post but who cares lol. Dipping into the Boddington's imported from across the pond and yes, I like it lol.
Edit: I would like to add that I like Pattinson's 71' Bodds recipe a bit better damn it's pretty good.

Another Bodd's pint why not?
I thought that was cask when I looked at the head. One of the local pubs is Greene King and they do a really nice pint of Abbot. I wish it was on more regularly.

Luckily for me the pub in question is just opposite the station in my home town has Abbot as one of their standard beers so I tend to pop in now and then on my way back from work (I’ve tried Abbot out of a bottle and can and it’s just not the same). Honestly makes me wonder if something like John Smiths or Tetley’s would be worth trying on cask (sure I remember it’s meant to be still sold on cask in some places).
No, its not is it. Its still nice but cask is lovely.
I've made an Abbot clone, by the way, which I think is nicer than the bottled Abbot, PM me if you want to try it.
Testing the carb on the fruited sour. Just about there I think.
Very refreshing for a scorching June day, shame it's miserable here.

Lovely bottle conditioned strong ale from St.Austell brewery - Maris Otter, Crystal malts, Fuggles and Goldings.
Last day of holiday, its chucked it down today but can't complain as otherwise we've been lucky with a fortnight of bright sunny weather.

In London for this years Venous Forum. This is the best of a bad bunch at the hotel, but I’m heading to Lucky Cat in half an hour. Looking forward to rolling the Negroni dice later

Too late, all drunk now !
Not yet tried salvaging yeast from a bottle, something to try next on my home brew journey.
Most beers seem to be getting weaker if anything nowadays, down to tax I think.
Had a can of Red Stripe the other day and appalled to see its been reduced to 4.7% - bring back Crucial Brew !
My Schwarzbier and a pack of nuts from my snack board.

I find the opposite problem lots of lovely 6-7% IPA’s but very few good sub 3.5% Milds or Bitters which surprises me as with the way alcohol duty on beer is now structured you would think there would be a lot more sub 3.4% beers, also who exactly is brewing 22% beers as surprised they feel the need for a separate duty catagory.
| Alcohol by volume (ABV) | Amount of duty in £ (pounds) for each litre of pure alcohol in the product |
|---|---|
| 0 to 1.2% | 0.00 |
| 1.3% to 3.4% | 9.27 |
| 3.5% to 8.4% | 21.01 |
| 8.5% to 22% | 28.50 |
| Stronger than 22% | 31.64 |
One of my favourites that, hadn't realised it had dropped to 5% though!

Yes it's a lovely ale, only seem to see it down your way sadly.
