'WellDel Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 3 hours ago, Billy Jean King said: 4 hours ago, 'WellDel said: Typical of most 'holiday' beers, like San Miguel/Estrella in Spain, Keo in Cyprus, Sagres/Super Bock in Portugal. They can seem fucking immense when you're relaxing somewhere more exotic, or ice cold when you're lying in 40° heat. Don't have quite the same allure at home. Decent enough, but not high on the wishlist. In the Frozen ice buckets brought to you on the beach in Icmeler it is absolutely fucking nectar. The dumpy bottles are better than the tall ones but yes it's a beer for the sun. Just seeing one gave me goosebumps mind ! Exactly the place I like it, love Icmeler. Hopefully restrictions will be lifted in time to experience exactly this scenario in September. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie McSquackle Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 That's more like it. A bottle of Steen Brugge. Lovely blond beer with a wee bit more spice than others I've tasted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dundee Hibernian Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 An unusual beer from Bavaria, with the bouquet of a smoked cheese or sausage. Never had anything like this before, very pleasant, didn't notice the smoked effect on tasting, but there is a pleasant smouldering afterthought of something that's suffered incineration. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Your tastebuds must already be incinerated if you could only get an aftertaste of smoke tbh! It should smack you about the place with it. Always a good choice from the Pot Still's fridge of German beer. Some tasty Doorly's XO rum and a bottle of dark Budvar this evening. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where did you find that?This Belgian IPA from Brouwerij Lekker is lovely stuff. A bit of sweet fruityness- very drinkable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archie McSquackle Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 A bottle of Vedett IPA. Quite nice but more of what I would consider a Belgian Abbey beer than an IPA. Maybe slightly in-between. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie McSquackle Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 I was really looking forward to this from the description but was surprisingly tasteless. Certainly wasn't getting the orange peel and coriander. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbaxters Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Tried various others but tonight's Wild Turkey 101 is close to being the perfect bourbon in an Old Fashioned. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarcastic Bairn Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Received a bottle of this today for a present The World’s Best Bourbon—According To The International Wine And Spirits Competition Sadly I hate opening new bottles, so it'll go on the shelf and I'll just look at it for now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 When I went for a piss this morning it smelt like hops. Rather a pleasant side effect of drinking more than I usually would of the juicy IPA style 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although WT Rare Breed is marginally better for me, 101 wins on value. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
