Sights & Swills Summer Holiday Beer#49. ST MALO. Second evening beer inside the citadel. Golden with a creamy head. It's quite a smooth tasting, fruity aroma brew, with its strength providing a good body here. It's a little more regular in taste, but still decent in this respect.

The oldest military monument in the USA commemorates Captain Richard Somers. Hazy pale golden with a creamy head. Citrus tropical fruit in both aroma and taste, very low citric bitterness as verging on sweet here. A little creamy, this comes across in aroma too.

One travel regret I have is I could have seen Fidel Castro on Cuba's annual National Day parade, exactly 24 years ago today, but I had a lie-in, in Havana instead. This beer helps the reminiscing, it's lovely and smooth in the palate, with plenty of body for its strength. Hints of citrus and a mild strewed fruitiness, quite warming stuff really.

I could do with another session of summer to top up the fast fading tan from last month's visit to France. This hazy golden frothy-head brew has hints of fruit, but its hoppy-floral-bitterness, one that isn't particularly flavoursome, is dominant.

Sights & Swills Summer Holiday Beer#48. ST MALO. Evening drink within the walled city. Golden with a creamy head and lots of carbonation. Has sweetish pale malts and Belgian-style bubblegum. Its strength is not too impactful in taste, but obviously helps in giving it plenty of body.

Sights & Swills Summer Holiday Beer#47. ST MALO. First beer after arriving in France. Red-berry colour, both sweet and sour in taste, with the collection of fruits coming across on the sweeter side initially. Has a fair sourness to follow.

I abandoned my one attempt to ramble up the Old Man Of Coniston due to looming black clouds, making it back down to Coniston before it lashed down. That proved a good decision, less so with this bland hopped effort. It does have a lovely traditional texture though and a gentle bitterness.

The current price of a UK supermarket cucumber is 89p, although Waitrose and M&S shoppers will pay a penny more. First of a Vocation trio, luckily the mint and cucumber are not at levels that will ruin the next couple of beers to hit the palate, but the flavours are notable in a very crisp keg pour.
