Drinking this one on Jack Rosenthal Street - he who created the TV series 'London's Burning'. This one is too dry to burn, it's a big part of its character, although beyond the dryness are hoppy notes, a tad dirty here and in taste though.

The IRA blew up my local gas works when I was a teenager. Clear golden coloured ale with a pleasant cask texture, and is available in keg too. There's hints of tropical fruit, but it's mainly just sweet in this respect, although a hoppy bitter finish is found in this one.

Dark amber red with a copper glow. Newcastle last scored four against Everton! This forecastle isn't a big scorer though as the added ginger is hardly apparent, and the sweet additions make it particularly unstoutlike. It's not undrinkable though.
gave a cheers!

On the day I'm drinking this beer, 98 years ago actress Mae West went to prison for obscenity connected to her play 'Sex' she starred in. From that fable to this one, a full-bodied light sweet tropical fruit notes, strength a part too, but good clean texture.
