Bottle on the 2nd Friday night is Bottled Beer Night 2014. From B&M in Canterbury. Clear gold lasting white head. Well I can smell the grassy citrusy hops whilst I pour it. Some bleach toilet cleaner aroma. Which kind of carries on to the flavour. Oh dear, well yes you can through a lot of hops at a beer but it doesn’t always work. Very bitter on the finish. Very big and hoppy aroma and flavour, but just way too much. Reminds me of the last home brew I did when I over dry hopped it. It’s just too harsh. Way too many hops thrown at this for the ABV and malt base. It just can’t carry it. Harsh cracked black pepper finish. Way too harsh.

Clear orange gold, with a bit of a dirty white head. Aroma hasn’t the hoppy characteristics of an IPA. Quite flat. On the whole not a great beer.

500ml bottle. Pours light gold with a medium head. Aroma, well, the glass is on the table and I can smell the skunk from there. Some vanilla and lemon. Taste is sweet with straw and grass. Touch of skunk on the finish. Knew I was shit out of luck to think Aldi had started selling impy Ipas.

Cask at Y Not Festival, Derbyshire. Initially quite a sour taste, fairly sweet with some distinct lemon dominating. Glad I bought a half as couldn’t manage a full pint of this.

Cask, as the house beer, at the Malt’n’Hops, Fenton. A pale gold colour with a saopy looking white head; light biscuity malt aroma; soft and soapy in the mouth with a good balance of biscuity malts and grassy hops; then a sticky, moreish finish. A good old-fashoined Midlands bitter.

Draft at Strawberry Fields, Shirley, Solihull. Poured a cloudy reddish brown with a creamy white head. The aroma is malty and a little alcoholic. The flavour is medium bitter, malty and a little fruity with some lingering bitterness in the palate. It was pleasant enough, but I don’t think this pint was that fresh.

Cask at George and Dragon, Belper - a malty ale, fruity and spicy, with a vanilla undertone. Excellent and reliable at the same time, one for a session!
