Triple fff Moondance
Unexpectedly (to me anyway) BOTW is Triple fff Moondance it was spot on.
I think it's a revised recipe to the one from nearly twenty years ago. I had a couple in their Aldershot tied house earlier this year and thought exactly the same.Quote:

I'll look out for it: we'll be up in Narfolk next week.
Their website gives some clues as to where to find them. I've generally found bottles but am yet to have a bad one.
Hophurst Cosmati a nice light 4.2% golden ale from a new brewery in Wigan.
Tried in The Baum of course. :cheers:
