    Not a lot of good beers this week .Some major disapointments from some good brewers but
    Liverpool Craft -American Red Ale at the Red Lion isleworth fest was good.

    Not much variety this week but all in good condition,
    Darkstar Hophead
    Darkstar American Pale Ale
    Darkstar Genesis
    Portobello Portobello Pale
    Milk Street The Usual

    It was going to be the Portobello Pale a new beer to me but Darkstar have done it again with another new beer

    BOTW Darkstar Genesis marketed as a mild, at 4.7% with strong chocolate flavours, a winner in my book.

    A big week for me,boating around Burton and then relief pints in Croydon.

    Scottish Borders -Foxy Blonde
    Leatherbritches -Bespoke
    Marston's -Pedigree
    Jennings - Red Rascal
    Worthington -Red Shield
    Worthington -Spring Shield
    Worthington -White Shield
    Ringwood -Boondoggle
    Jennings -Cumberland
    Lancaster -Blonde
    Dark Star -American Pale Ale
    Dark Star -Hophead
    Dark Star -Carafa Jade
    Leeds -Vienna (I liked this well hopped dark beer,too much bite for a mild though)
    Woods -Pot o' Gold

    BOTW goes to Worthington White Shield from the National Brewery Centre,Burton.In the days of my youth when there was little real ale available,after a session on Charrington IPA in my local,I would treat myself to a bottle of White Shield to finish off.This cask version at The Brewery Tap was different from the bottled ale I remembered but still a very fine strong IPA style,there was a lot going on .Shame it is rarely seen anywhere else but at the museum.Pushing hard for BOTY so far.

    Very quiet week on the beer front (although wine's another story), with just six tried. This week's runners:

    Roosters - Fort Smith.
    Revolutions - Uprising.
    Dark Star - Hophead.
    Hand Drawn Monkey - Pale Ale.
    Roosters - True Grit.
    Great Newsome - Marvellously Poetic Porter.

    Almost impossible to choose between the Fort Smith and the Hophead. However, I'll go for the latter as it's still quite rare in the north and even rarer to catch it with that new barrel freshness.
