vikingTON Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Aldi appear to have ordered about 500 of each variety and gormlessly looked on as they ran out; all of the dark beers were gone by yesterday evening here. Tried the Loch Lomond Galacticus 'milkshake IPA' but like most of their range it was non-descript. Generic IPA is generic IPA. Got a couple of bottles of the Raspberry Carronade which is nice though not quite as tart as I remember from before and quite aggressively fizzy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig fae the Vale Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 When I see a beer called Juice Springsteen, I have to buy it. Pretty good, very tropical, but a bit light. Bought from Ellie's Cellar in Helensburgh, cracking wee shop for anyone in the area, they had a really good selection. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit bland TBH. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Well if the Greenock Aldi is anything to go by, the reason for that could lie in the roasting hot, useless mini shop lights that they have right next to stock that should be kept cool at all times. Absolute amateur hour stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig fae the Vale Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Fairly decent citrus IPA from Stewart. Heavy on the grapefruit, which makes it pleasantly bitter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had meant to go back and see if they had put any actual fruit in it or if its all from the hops 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've managed to acquire 26 of the 30 Aldi beers from their Auldhouse store. Will need to be a bit more adventurous to complete the collection by the looks of things. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm heading through Carluke shortly, heading way of Aldi (although expecting their shelves to have been ransacked). I can tip you off! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig fae the Vale Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Fierce's Raspberry Tart. Much like @Bairnardo thought about the blackberry version, I wouldn't have been surprised if someone told me this was a cider. Pleasant enough though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
