I normally see them in Lidl on my way to Portsalon. The big banging IPA has taken a bit of a price hike
Hasn’t it just. I picked up some dipa’s for €2.75 7.5% that weren’t bad either. Was going to head into the Kinnegar tap room but traffic was nuts so just went to Tesco so I could avoid primark.

I really love a sour beer but I have to admit to being used to fruited sour beers. This Face Off from @dad_of_jon is something a bit different and I’m enjoying the difference. Fruity edgy aroma, lactic with something of the natural yoghurt about it. Colour though is sunshine tropics, no head as such but a lovely light carbonation. To flavour this is a light sour but proper beer, not fruity other than the edgy fruity aromas. This is a clever beer, on that edge of bacterial and yeast fermentation - I like it lots 😍

Moving rapidly on - an early glass of the dinner white Burgundy for SWMBO'd, and an for me an accidental blended-in-the-glass replicate of tonight's beer #1.
(I made a mistake with the cask I started to pour from!
So topped up with the Camden which I had originally intended to pour😳)
Fuller in the mouthfeel dept. and slightly less bitter, as the Camden Amber ale component had a higher brewing salts content. 🍻
 
Managed to find a couple of bottles of Schwarzbier to compare against my version.

This was really nice. Flavour profile was very similar to my beer. My version seemed dryer, and the carbonation was creamier on the pro version, my beer had a little carbonic bite to it.

Family pub day yesterday so no posts from me (I was drinking Sussex Best). Went out with one of the grandchildren today for a pub lunch and was drinking Fourty-niner.

Home now and in the garden with a Belgian Cherry beer in another glass from my collection. I think I got this one with a bunch of barrel-aged imperial stouts from Thornbridge.
