Weird Beer Of Any Week

Rocket?You cannot be serious.

I once made a beetroot beer, it was a lovely colour but had no flavour at all.

I did same but made wine, it was excellent but it never tasted of beetroot, which was good

They have a Honey Dew Melon pale ale 4.5 coming soon so you have something to look forward to.

I recently had cask Shipyard Melonhead with a subtle and refreshing hint of melon. A gentle kiss on the lips from a melon was a pleasant surprise, but being beaten about the head with a cucumber is just too much. I've also had a cask ale that tasted of stilton - I forgot what it was so it may again catch me out by rearing its ugly foaming head!

I once visited the Garlic Farm on the Isle Of Wight. Now I like garlic but the garlic beer they sell was horrible.
I didn't expect it to be nice and it wasn't. It may be the only beer I haven't finished!

Arbor Lime In The Coconut was a strange concoction that shouldn't work, yet I kind of liked it here.

Thornbridge Wye: "A Delicate Pale Ale lightly hopped with the unique and refreshing aroma of cucumber", and no joke. I hate cucumbers and this tasted of nothing but; I can still taste it. The ale doesn't feature on the Thornbridge website.

It's not the first cucumber beer. I tried this one from Roosters last year on cask. It was filth.

The Adnams keg Cucumelon is really nice, that is if you like cucumber and melon in beer, it would seem that most don't.

That's an amazing drink.... I know the owner of the brewery so I may be biased, despite never have drunk it.

I had a strange pint by Wilde Child the other day, a mango and passionfruit milkshake IPA. And then a second!

Salopian once did a peppermint mild they had to flog for a quid a pint eventually in their Shrewsbury pub - doubt they repeated that experiment!

Rhubarb can work well, I recall a Fernandes or Ossett pint with this ingredient in their Wakefield brewery tap (well worth a visit!)

The WC beer is Opaque Reality, which I rather liked as well (BOTW?). With the Wakefield Rhubarb Festival being every February, there are always several rhubarb flavoured beers in the local pubs. I suspect the Fernandes beer you're thinking of is Rhubarb & Custard, which is OK, but the best one I've come across is Yorkshire Heart Rhu-bar.
