Doop by Doop was a UK number 1 single back in 1994. Hazy paler golden in colour, its head elevates things a touch. Not a classic wheat by any means, but the Huell Melon hops do provide a distinctive flavour for this one including melon and celery.

A very sweet stout based on an Indian delicatessy, and you can really taste it, so a dedication beer to Rajinder Puri, Indian cartoonist, born on this day in 1934. Lots of stout character, good pastry notes despite the sweet tag. Quite rich too, so I'd probably not want too much in one go. Fine brewing here though.

The significant moment Piggy holds the Conch in Lord Of The Flies, won't be lost on those with a UK education. Hazy paler golden, it's suitably tropical and soft textured, so despite its sweetness, it's not sticky. Excellent brew.

Mithuna means biunity, which is apt as today is the feast day of Catherine & William Booth, spouses who founded The Salvation Army together. Golden, good body, easy texture for strength and sweet tropical fruit in both aroma and taste, verging on sticky, but not quite.

I didn't combine the savoury snack of the same name with this celebration brew. Hazy golden. A little bit of chai against a tropical fruitiness from its hops, with a sort of subduing effect from the former on the latter. Somewhat herbal-sweet for the mix.

On tap at Bundobust Liverpool. Hazy amber-gold body with almost no head. Aroma: bursting with tropical fruit – ripe mango, juicy peach, and sweet orange – backed by a gentle hop spice. Flavor: soft, slightly creamy mouthfeel on the first sip, with layers of mango, peach, and citrus zest, spicy. Medium bitterness.

The 'Baader-Meinhof Effect' is the notion of seeing a word or concept for the first time then frequently seeing it thereafter. The effect of this beer is a little more drunkenness, it's strong but this mainly provides body as it's a sticky-sweet tropical fruit dominant brew in both aroma and taste.

Time Capsule Beer with events on this day as I drink this including Indian and Pakistan continuing to attack each other over Kashmir, prominent European leaders meet in Ukraine to push for a ceasefire with the invading Russians, and parts of Kosmos 482 launched in 1972 are likely to have re-entered earth's atmosphere. If only life was as easy as this hoppy palate-friendly session that slips back easily. Some tasty sugars too.

Anyone travelling by foot by ferry from Dover can use the free shuttle bus to get to the centre of Calais once arriving in France. And it is the most petit of buses you probably will have ever been on. A petit one third of this brew as it's the newest on offer from Bundobust. It's certainly worthy of a larger pour though, hazy with citrus tropical fruit in both aroma and taste

I found pomegranates freely available on the ground when I toured Morocco many moons ago. Different fruits here, soft citrus with peach notes of pushed for specifics. Hopped, very crisp. Lovely texture.
