Can at home from Tesco. Substitution because the previous beer was a drain pour. This is all about crazy levels of hops and there are a hell of a lot of them. Maybe too many. But I suppose this is a DIPA so sessionable doesn't enter into the conversation. Nice to try....

Day 7 of my homemade advent calendar. Picked this up off the Fullers website recently. They were obviously having a clear out and I'm a sucker for this sort of thing. BBE is August 2014 and I know I had it when it was first out. Anyway, its still alive with lasting lacing. Very murky and a sweet aroma. The taste is all sweet malt and no sign of the hops - all completely gone. It's definitely past it's best and couldn't drink it all. Shame.

Tasty beer. Not particularly Belgium but good nonetheless. Well balanced malt, hops and alcohol and just great to drink.

Day 3 of my homemade advent calendar. Great pour with a good and long lasting head. Huge rich malt that was well balanced with the alcohol. Very English and all the better for that.

Door 1 of my homemade beer advent calendar. Good pour with lasting lacing. Mature nose and a huge hit of vanilla on the taste buds. It tastes like one of those awful pastry tours and this isn't for me.

I forget how good this brewery can be. Final clear out before the December frontal assault and I can't believe I've never rated this. Used to love it and buy loads. This is a rich and gently bitter proper ipa in the English style. None of your sweet fruit here, apart from perhaps a deep and rich note of plums. Slightly stewed. Lovely

Bottle from Beer Shop Hitchin. Persuaded by my brother to start my home built beer advent calendar tonight because apparently the 31st is the start of advent. Who knew? Anyway, this isn't part of the official calendar, but its a good place to start. Great colour and this is all about the rich malts. Maybe a bit too cold from the garage, I mean cellar, but as ever with this brewery its really good.

Bottle from Asda in Luton of all places. Still trying to clear out stocks before the excesses of December and this one had to go. Good pour, fruity aroma, but the taste is something different. Its fruity, really fruity. Not hops fruity, but peaches and nectarines- real fruit. Not fake or flavouring but real fruit. It was actually pretty good, particularly as I normally despise fruit beers. And really well balanced .
