Weird shaped can, like an energy drink.
At 12% I think this may be my nightcap.

That's definitely your last, or it's a silent journey tomorrow.
Having an Augustiner on the side for thirst.

For breakfast
At 06:24 that's a great start to the weekend.
Sorry all, missed yesterday's Summer Solstice post.
Too much sun sand and.............. well you know the rest!
Home made lunch, bought beers.
Then lovey carafe of white wine from the restauranteur's village, SW Cyprus. Had with Sea Bream.
We got a sunset and moonrise from the same table.

Last lunch, if a little late - well we are on holiday!
lunch beers:
The IPA is only acceptable with food IMHO.
The IPA is sooo bitter due to being intensively hopped.

@Twostage was kind enough to share a bottle of his Abbot Ale ācloneā, and while Iām lousy at giving tasting notes I will do my best.
It poured fairly smoothly with a big head as you can see which settle down into something a bit more modest (which then proceeded to stick around. Colour was a little darker than I expected but clear without haze.
Taste wise carbonation is fairly gentle a tad higher than a cask Abbot would be with a lot bit of bite from the CO2 but as is the way with any bottled beer. It has a nice almost creaminess to it, hops are clearly their but donāt overpower the flavour from the malt, which gives it a nice sweetness, I was drinking this while cooking and I think I enjoyed the second half more than the first as it had started to loose some of the āfizzā which meant the flavour of the malt came through much better.
How close it is to Abbot is difficult to say for certain (Tesco online was out of Abbot or I would have purchased a bottle for direct comparison) but itās certainly a nice beer which I wouldnāt send back if I received in a pub or restaurant. Thank you again to Twostage for sharing.

I have 2 cans of unfiltered Utopian so attempting to capture the yeast. Not sure Iām that confident, but itās a free go and also not bothered if I end up using cml Hell as the fallback.

Lovely Italian Pils from Donzoko 
That is a potent mix of hops and a strong brew too. I would have thought the three Cs would swamped the Nelson Sauvin.
Absolutely fantastic stout, this is so good.
As the sun has got his hat on a quick couple of beers at the pub. First up a Campden Pale.

Lovely pint of session IPA from the local Chiltern brewery at Aylesbury's oldest pub, the Kings Head.

My family have headed off for the weekend, and I am heading out tomorrow, so dinner this evening was "mix up stuff that's in the fridge that'll go off before we get back". It was yummy. But not as yummy as this beauty from @The-Engineer-That-Brews . I've been saving it for a few weeks because it wasnt' nice enough weather to enjoy it, but now that it's a sunny weekend it was finally time to open it.
slightly low on carbonation, so pouring from a height got a decent head for the photo.
Big hit of orange peel on the nose, very nice. Totally refreshing, gently soft wheat flavours but a full body and nice soft mouthfeel combined with the characteristic "beany" flavour of a witbier. Nice dryish finish that was totally in balance. Perfectly refreshing on a summer afternoon in the sun/cooking. A few more bubbles could have made it even nicer though. My biggest complaint is that it didn;t come in a bigger bottle! Definitely better than the once I made!
