Bottle in the Aldgate Tap as i was being good. Look, it's an AF lager. It's acceptable.

Bottle at home to wash down a pizza lunch. Really not great and a certain element of home brew to it. Drinkable but not one to repeat

Bottle at home from a random garden centre driving back from a couple of business meetings in Essex. I then had to collect dog 1 from the dog repair shop and drop daughter 2 at drama. This beer was needed. Bit of crud in the bottle and overall a standard bitter.

Half at the Beer Shop Hitchin while waiting for number 2 daughters play to start. Hugely murky in the glass and a nose of resinous hops. The flavour is all rich hops and almost like wine. And you need to chew it! Good, but not one to have again. So in honour of the 50th anniversary of Jaws, one of the greatest films ever made, I offer you Quint's toast. Here's to swimming with bow legged women.

Bottle at home and it's a good one. Balanced towards malt so there is a sweetness to the taste but very refreshing. And loads going on for a sensible abv. Very good example of the style.

Train beer from Waitrose. Loads of taste and mouthfeel from a very low abv beer. I'm all for beers like this and it was perfect after a hectic day.

Can at home. Poured well and looks good, but this is a saison for the masses. A saison with the taste and texture turned down to 1. Not really worth it.

Bottle at home and this is something good. Stunning colour in the glass with lasting lacing. Huge and rich nose and a deep and rich fruit and savoury taste that is perfectly balanced. The mouthfeel goes on and on. This is a superb beer.

Can at home from Tesco in St Evenage. At home having returned from a barbecue where I was the designated driver. Good pour and the taste of a grown up DIPA with lots of rich and bitter hops. None of that fruity frippery.

Pint at Craftys in Letchworth. Not the best pint and a bit too warm for a lager which impacted on the taste. This is a standard lager, not much taste and very simple.
