Lightning Pale Ale by @Broken Toe slightly more restrained hop flavours than the previous IPA, nice almost stone fruit aroma, light to medium bodied, beautifully clear, lovely bitterness which creeps up on you. Another lovely beer which I didnt have to brew! Thanks!

We are not eating until mid afternoon so will hold off for a while when I will probably go for something northern. There are advantages with having a daughter living in Glasgow and a son in Cumbria! Happy Christmas to all!

Time for the first beer while we cook the dinner. My English pale ale. Getting better now it’s a few weeks old.

Verdant stout selection from one of my daughter's, what a lucky dad !

Champers coming out now from FIL!

Taking it steady.

A Greene King Mils before lunch, then a double from the Lidl box with lunch.

Stuffed now but have an absolute stack of beer to get through, including a crate of Bateman's XB and one if Rosey Nosey from my darling wife.

Here is the mild; it's becoming a bit of a tradition this, as I always get a box of GK beers from them, and although I'm not a fan of all of them, I love their mild.

A pint of my pyramid pale series 3

Something posh for the Queen's speech
Fortnum & Mason Christmas Ale I got today as a present. It's pretty good, quite unusual

I enjoyed the GK Mild, not a beer I have much and had some interesting caramel flavour

Lol..Def quality glass, tho it can't top the flashing glass I got from my kids . The pic doesn't do it justice. Haven't cracked a bottle open yet, saving myself for later.

I’ll catch up with the forum later, too busy playing games. Some of these now.

 

[marshbrewer]

Having one of these to bolster myself while assembling Designafriends doll furniture, which frustratingly, appears better made than the actual IKEA furniture I have just put together for the youngest daughter's room.

I've never had a red triple before (ok, I must have had this one because I've drank this box before, all at once, lol so my memory is "hazy") and this is jolly good.

Enjoying this very special beer gifted to be by @Pennine. I hope you and your family are having a wonderful Christmas
It's a very rare Westvleteren 8

Cacao nibs and vanilla (and no lactose for a pleasant change!), very nice

A porter to wash down Xmas pud.

The wilko pale ale looks at home

This is @Broken Toe IPL and I'm really enjoying it, not a style that I've drunk much off, but its fruity with a malty backbone. Its perhaps slightly undercarbed, and theres a hint of cucumber which I'm not keen on, I think you used the punk'd up mix from cml, perhaps something from there. Other than that though I think you have the start of something that could be really great, would be interested to see the whole recipe.
