Description
Beer For People Who Love To Ride Dinosaurs!

From the moment they started they knew they weren’t cool. They didn’t have beards and attempts at growing them were simply humiliating and a little embarrassing for them and their families. So they set aside their rose scented facial wax and tiny combs and focused on what they knew best… brewing quality beer (and dinosaur puns)!

Hatched in 2015 by three clean shaven friends with an obsession for beer and dinosaurs, Staggeringly Good have quickly become known as one of the UK’s leading breweries ranking consistently in the TOP 20 in the country on Untappd.’

Yes it’s all got a little out of control since we first uttered the sentence ‘Hey shall we get together on Sunday and brew some beer?’. Now there are grown up things like bills and stuff, but don’t worry we’re not going to let that get in the way of us having a grain sack load of fun. Catch you at the tap room soon dino-riders!

can bought at The Fossil Thief, Portsmouth. Hazy-opaque pale gold. Thin foamy white head. Aroma combines bitter citrus with herbs and a vinous edge. Dank. Flavourwise it's then more sweet than Inwas expecting - candied stone fruit and citrus. Peripheral bitterness - herbal and vinous - adding some dankness. Underlying porridge. Light-medium bodied. Buoyant soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Easy drinking NEPA, sweet but with the right amount of bitterness.

Isle Of Wight Holiday Beer#93. Back on the mainland with this cloudy pink sticky sour. The raspberry is more dominant in taste than aroma, with plenty of sweetness, within a sour style obviously. Quite a rich tasting example of the style. Sugary throughout with a bit of.candy floss in its nose.

Isle Of Wight Holiday Beer#45. Another Lifecraft delivered ale. Sweet exotic fruit in this, in both aroma and taste. It's a little rich tasting in this respect, but good for a tin. Drank by the coast.

Isle Of Wight Holiday Beer#34. North coast beach beer before bed. Hoppy tropical fruits mix, somewhat sweet in the latter, but also subdued by the former. Pleasant though.
