Camden Pale (4.0%)
Vocation Heart & Soul (4.4%)
BrewDog Jagged Edge (5.1%)
Camden Off Menu IPA (5.8%)
Play Brew Juicy Lucy (6.0%)
The Juicy Lucy was an interesting one; a blackcurrant, blueberry & strawberry triple fruited sour, with the following bold boasts on the tin:
"A perfect dry mild sour loaded with 350kg of fruit yet still lovely and light. The strawberry on the nose and the Madagascar vanilla help balance the tartness of the blackcurrants yet this beer had punnet of flavour that will blow you away. This one's a young, refreshing beer in the style of a Berliner Weiße, with a higher ABV." Certainly fruity enough, but volume-wise, 440ml was a little too much for me, unique though this was in its flavour combination.
BOTW goes to 1L of lovely fresh stuff sent by those ever-reliable peeps at Beercraft of Bath, readying me for the return of the proper stuff on April 12th:
