Who doesn't love a sassy beer? That's right, no-one does not love a sassy beer!! Oops hang on, too many double negatives. And Saturdays are all about the positives!!
So what do we have this week? A couple of light sassy beers to brighten up the dull approach of Winter.
We have a fine blonde IPA from the dreich depths of Scotland and a little hottie from the deep South of this fair Isle.
Let the battle begin!!
Look at you with your gaudy coat of yellow my lovely! What enticements do you have under there? Let us see...
Mmm mmm, pours like a Scotsman's outflow the day after the night before and who can resist that! All in all, I can't fault it's slightly cloudy amber goodness. But, the proof is in the pudding! So to speak.
A fine thing. Nothing greatly outstanding but good, hoppy with sweet hints of apricot to mellow the bitter bitter bitterness of its savage character. I like it. I could drink a ton of them on a night out. 7.5/10 booms!
What do we have next. A funky bottle...
I do like the design. It's subtle but classy. Two of my favourite things.
Let's get it out.
Hang on. What the bloody fuck is this? It's kind of pink, reddy pink?
Have I been sold a pup? Ah, the bottle claims they added raspberries, elderflower and basil at the end of the brewing process. How on earth did I miss that?
Oh well. Taste it I must!
Ooft. For crying out loud. What is wrong with these people?! Why? Why would anyone drink something like this if they had a choice? Boaky, pish and shit. 3/10 booms and that is only because of the label.
That will learn me to actually read the label properly sometimes. I just saw the funky label and the words Berliner Weisse and thought, excellent.
But no. Not excellent.
Boo hiss. I'm off to drink something else.
Cheers everyone!!
