Hillonearth Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 (edited) Overtone All Together. Props to Overtone, as they seem to have been bringing out about two new beers a week all the way through this. That being said, quite a lot of them seem to be essentially very - some might say suspiciously - similar IPAs in different packaging. This falls into that category.... nice enough but nothing very memorable about it. Edited December 12, 2020 by Hillonearth 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only had the Brugse Zot from that which is an absolute banger. Used to be on tap in my local when I lived in Holloway. Bog standard Heineken for the football and boxing for me this evening. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeartsOfficialMoaner Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Bought this because of cheapness. Love it. It’s like squeezing the juice from profiteroles and the juice gets you pissed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
centralTon Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Vocation - Imperial Kirsch Chocolate and Cherry Stout. Initial hit of cherry followed by dark chocolate, absolutely beautiful but at 11% and £5 for a 440ml can, it's an occasional treat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikingTON Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 (edited) A debut for the cocktail shaker this evening by attempting an espresso martini. Spoiler Vodka and some mad Italian coffee liqueur forms the base for now but I've ordered Patron Cafe tequila off Amazon (going at the stupidly low price of £21 yesterday) to simplify it even further in the future.

Bairnardo Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Franziskaner weissbier now. Really fucking good tbh. Not had this one before, but in terms of the names of the genre, it joins Weihenstephaner in kicking Erdinger around the place. Lovely thick mouthfeel and just the right amount of banana flavour. Got a weissbier cooking atm and if its anywhere close to this il be over the moon. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 I can't stand weissbier unless it is flavoured with something (eg Drygate's Berliner weiss with rhubarb) and I am miffed that my latest Beer 52 Polish box contains two of the fuckers. Worse than the usual parade of generic IPAs. Have skipped next month's box in advance and am strongly considering jumping through the million hoop process to chuck the subscription altogether. It's getting much easier to just order directly from decent brewers online in the past year so I can do without the middlemen trying to flog beard oil. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nae nonsense off the boy just told him I didnt want it anymore I just emailed Beer52 and told them to cancel my order. They emailed me back with some sob story about an hour later saying they were sorry to see me go and offering me all kinds of incentives. I ignored the email and never heard from them again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Last time it was a phone call and a pretty decent incentive which was far less of a ball-ache than continuing the call. Unless they improve their offering to allow an all dark beer selection (they'll of course let you choose all light beers because they source about 7 million IPAs per case anyway) then they can get to f**k this time though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig fae the Vale Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Tonight's Off Tempo from Bad Co is their "Tropical IPA" It's not bad, but a bit bland overall. Had much worse, but I'll be in no rush to drink it again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
