Coopers Bootmaker Toucan dry hopped with Hallertau Blanc. 2 weeks in the bottle and tastes very nice.

I'm drinking the bathwater my granny died in but I'm having to fight off bigwig villains who are sucking it away with straws back to their evil base.

I picked these up in Markies today. I didn’t know they’d started stocking Mikkeller so I’m quite excited to try it, and how could I not try a beer from the “Ska Brewing Co”?
 
My recreation of Barkley Perkins Sparkling Beer from shut up about BP. The name always makes me smile. It's beer! It's sparkling!

It's actually a sort of dunkel thing. Very caramelly, due to the large amount of crystal malt, but with a sort of lager finish. It's quite enjoyable, but very different. I can't imagine the commercial version was as nice after pasteurisation and canning though.

Duvel Triple Hop Cashmere, nice beer, notable hop aroma and flavor, but not overpowering like in modern IPA's. I like some subtlety.

I used cashmere hops in an IPA, and your description is apt - they are subtle. Might be interesting in a pilsner or similar style, but traditional IPA hops seem to overwhelm them.
 
Got these in Tesco earlier:
Brooklyn IPA, 5.5% - I had my reservations about this (mainly because of the ABV) and I was right. Somewhat bland.
Anchor Steam, 4.8% - Thought I'd give this another try after reading a thread. Not bad but I still don't want to clone it.
Horny Bull Stout, 7% - A solid stout. Very roasty and chocolatey. Very quaffable.

Am now on my Founders Breakfast Stout clone. And I prefer it to the above three. Go figure.
 
Drinking the first of my prize beers from @brewhaha Pineapple and tea wheat beer by ampersand brewery. was a little underwhelmed at first but I let it warm a little and the pineapple Aroma is amazing. Not getting any wheat beer yeastiness but from it but don't know if I'm supposed to.
Thanks brewhaha.
