    A mixed selection this week, only the Brodie's, Twickenham and Milestone were in really good nick.

    Redemption Rock The Kazbec 4.0%
    Freeminer Iron Brew 4.2%
    Twickenham Hornet 4.4%
    Clarence & Frederick's American Pale Ale 4.5%
    Twickenham Pale Beauty 4.7%
    Clarence & Frederick's IPA 5.2%
    RCH Double Header 5.3%
    Milestone Raspberry Wheat 5.6%
    London Fields Shoreditch Triangle 6.0%
    Brodie's Hoxton Special IPA 6.6%
    Brodie's Simcoe For Breakfast (Keykeg) 10.1%

    The winner is the Milestone Raspberry Wheat in the Leyton King William IV at £2.60. I'm not a big fan of wheat beer generally and fruit flavoured beers can be quite hit and miss, but I really liked this one. Given that it was clear I'm assuming it's a "Hybrid" rather than a full wheat beer. The raspberry flavour was subtle but detectable which made for a thoroughly enjoyable drink, especially after the rank pint that preceded it in a North London Spoons.

    Solid drinking week and managed to celebrate finishing the paint job on the boat.

    Marston's -Pedigree
    Wye Valley - HPA
    Dancing Duck - Amberillo
    Lymestone - Foundation Stone
    Firestone Walker Brewing Co. -American Independence Pale Ale
    Fullers - London Pride
    Stonehouse - Station Bitter
    Liberation Brewery - Liberation Ale


    BOTW by a long chalk was Firestone Walker American Independence Pale Ale 5% a collaboration ale brewed by Adnams exclusively for Wetherspoons to celebrate 4th July and sunk in The Acorn ,Lichfield.A very fine American Pale Ale not dissimilar to Dark Star's APA,possibly this category of ale deserves it's own appreciation thread like India Pale Ales

    Much prefer your list, this week. Can we swap? Think you should name the two mingers.
