First and only Ale I've had since the start of the Olympics Friday before last is Abbots Reserve. I'm Hopping to get some in tonight when I Finnish but it will be all Keg or London Pride as its the only place still open when I Finnish at 23.00 till 02.30 Its better than nothing after 14 days dry the first one wont touch the sides :glass::glass::glass::glass::glass::glass::glass:: glass::glass: at least. So Ale of the week goes to Abbot Reserve unless something better turns up tomorrow. :D It did not only Doom Bar & Pride so Abbot Reserve still stands.

I had made my mind up after my day out today in Oxford with a simply sublime pint of White Horse Village Idiot, but got back for a couple of liveners in my local , when on comes a new beer from Darkstar ,Ardennse Pale, excellent ,5.8 % full of flavour.I am now going to have to make my mind up after a couple more tomorrow. ;)

Yet another modest week,so not a lot to choose from.BOTW goes to Springhead Maid Marian ,I got the slightly orange sweetness then the dry finish so it proved an interesting drink kept well in The White Horse,Wareside.

A bit of a mixed bag this week but I have to say the quality was generally mediocre,

Yorkshire Heart JRT
Treboom Kettle Drum
Woodlands Mild
Theakstons Best Bitter
Old Mill Nellie Dean
Goose Eye Black Moor
Castle Rock Screech Owl
Copper Dragon Golden Pippin
Mithril London Calling
Black Sheep Bitter
Copper Dragon Golden Pippin
York Peacocks Pride
Leeds Pale
Kirkstall Dissolution IPA
Bath Gem
Magic Rock Rapture
Stringers No 2 Stout
Saltaire Raspberry Blonde

A few were extremely good but Kirkstall Dissolution IPA just beats the Magic Rock, the Bath Gem was easily the worst but that was the pub's fault not the beer so no BABOTW nomination.

As I've been chasing it around the Rock this week it's going to be Bushy's Gibraltar Barbary Beer

Well this week's choice was easy - Fullers London Pride. It was the only beer I drank this week. An old college friend had a fiftieth birthday bash, in Essex, and got a firkin in. Fortunately, it was fresh as a daisy and after a swift gallon, or so, I was transported back to the early 1980s when I used to drink it on the roundabout, outside The Warrington, in Maida Vale. Ah, memories.

I'm just catching up on a few threads, having returned from my summer holiday in South Africa. I only managed one beer this week but thankfully it was a decent one - Salopian Kashmir - an American Pale Ale which reminded me somewhat of Dark Star Revelation. A good beer to finish on before two weeks of drinking Castle and Windhoek Lager.
