BOTW Oakham - Citra

[Aqualung]

A pathetic TWO beers this week due to the rest being cider.

Brodie's Old Street Pale 5.0%
Brodie's Big Mofo Stout (Keykeg) 10.5%

Both were excellent, but the nod has to go to the Big Mofo as I fear there isn't much left!

After the Reading blow out,a very conservative week....a couple of bottles of BrewDog beers and the only cask and hence BOTW

Fuller's - London Pride :o

In The Charter,Aylesbury. :o:o

[Wittenden]

Three from Kent
Canterbury Ales-Sauvin one hop 5% abv: a new brewery for me: a very hoppy pale ale-melon's 'n' bubblegum.A poorman's Kipling perhaps. Not really sure I'd want many more.
Old Dairy-Red Top 3.8%.Nice old school bitter, deep and moreish.
Old Dairy-Gold Top 4.3% abv Citrussy golden ale of the moment:in prime condition.
Gold Top,my BOTW.

[aleandhearty]

Another very quiet for me, with just four tried.

Ilkley - Mary Jane.
Fernandes - American Pale.
Ossett - Mellow Yellow.
Rat - Number of the Rat.

Easy winner was the Rat, a 6.6% Black IPA. Not as hoppy as I was expecting, having tried several others in the style, but still a fine beer.

Next week's list should be a lot more interesting, after Wednesday's jaunt in Otley, with oldboots and sheffield hatter.

Wilson Potter - In Shreds tried in Pie & Ale in Manchester's Northern Quarter.

Another winner from the Middleton girls. :cheers:
