Siren -- Soundwave IPA (keg)

BOTW goes to Marble MILD.At 4.1% it may seem strong compared to a Black Country Mild (where is Soup Dragon when you need him ?) but using 8 malts it does replicate this classic beer and importantly has the wonderful dry finish which demands another pint.Served in great form in The Southampton Arms.
Next week a walk down the lower Lee Valley into hipsterville and then some footie,here's hoping for decent ale.
A much more interesting week, helped along by among others Southampton Arms, Old Fountain, The Jackalope, The Cock Tavern and of all places, The Rochester Castle (JD Wetherspoon).

Working through current stocks at home. Beer of the Week was one of a newish batch of cans that the larger Tesco Stores introduced in around September / October I think (which included BrewDog's Parma Violets NEIPA). A strong beer which had its alcohol tempered by the cherry sweetness and not so thick that it was like drinking a Black Forest gateau:
BOTW: Vocation Imperial Kirsch
The Lord Stanley is well worth a look if in the area and inexplicably only has two reviews; maybe because it's too far out to appear on the Colonel Fawcett default pub map.Quote:
