Whats everyone drinking?

talking of sessionable - my next cheddar ale is a 4.5% golden ale - potholer (it`s a cheddar cave thing i think) light and easy going - lovely rounded smooth taste and more impressive than the porter - i`m saving the IPA for tommorrow but expect good things from it ( if not i`ve a bottle of proper job to console myself )

i`ve still a few old school friends in cheddar so will look at a brewery tour / p**s up in the near future

last cheddar ale is a 5.7% IPA - goat`s leap ( if you`ve been to cheddar you`ve probably seen the crazy goats jumping up and down the cliffs - or was that to much farm cider when i was 14 :lol: happy days) own

so the ale - not overly bitter but great aroma - more aroma than flavour though I want a slap in the face from an IPA, still enjoyable though. Just had one of my pacific gold (take 2) which is pretty full on so my taste buds have had a bit of a bash so reckon i`ve been a bit harsh to the goat :lol:

lovely flavour - next time i`m in cheddar (soon i hope) will try to pop in and get some pics of the brewery

Just poured myself the last of Poltergeist porter and my bitters ran dry too. Thankfully I'm really surprised at how well my AG lager turned out, way way better than a kit. Also might try the PA later and see if the hops have mellowed.

Gotta get a brew on soon :pray:

It "reeks" of mango and like most of Brewdogs extreme beers it's as hoppy as a hoppy thing from hoppyland :grin:
