Beer of the Week (w/e 5th July 2015)

[Thuck Phat]

Yet another quiet week, not helped by being decidedly off-colour with a chest infection. So, no Sunday afternoon session, for the third week on the bounce.

I hope that you recover in time for next week A&H and catch up on the 3 missed sessions.

Decent week for me:

Oakham Bishops Farewell*
Nobby's Guilsborough Gold
Pardoes NPA*
Kelham Island Pale Rider*
Derby Quint Essential*
Bridgnorth Kings Escape*
Craddock's Crazy Sheep*
Two Thirsty Brewers American IPA*

Bridgnorth is owned by Craddocks and Two Thirsty Brewers is a collaboration between Craddocks and Sadlers. I'd never tried their beers before but those that I had this week were all very good.
BOTW Two Thirsty Brewers American IPA. An amber 4.7% IPA with plenty of hops and delicious.

I love Wittenden's succinct tasting notes on botw but am surpirsed that 'pale, water mint' won the week!

Didn't really want to say golden, tropical or flowery! Went down very well though.

My favourite BOTW was Anarchy Citra Star, but as I've nominated that a couple of times before
I was thinking of going for Burning Sky Plateau or Roosters Birdman.

All tried in The Baum of course.

But sod it! Anarchy Citra Star it is. A fantastic, light hoppy, 4.1%er.

It must have been a last minute change of mind as the top of the thread says Birdman!
