Woodchuck Cider before bed.

I'm enjoying the New Magners with Irish Whiskey 

So, having a beer from my case. 

Stewart's Ka Pai South Pacific IPA 5.2% 4/5

A gentle pour for this bottle conditioned ale, a deep amber liquid with little or no head, sweet on the nose. Lovely, but light, hoppy taste on the way down, that gets cut by a dry but sweet after taste. Very good, borderline great. Definitely one I'll try again.

The Kernel Pale Ale Simcoe Amarillo Mosaic 5.1% 3/5

Dry, hoppy but no other real flavours.  Almost feels like a base, just needs something else adding to it, some flavouring.  It's not bad, it's not good either.

Anew one for me from another local craft brewery in Belfast. Quite a few of these poping up over here now.

The Kernel Pale Ale Citrus Zeus 5.2% 5/5

Now this is more like it from The Kernel, bitter & sweet, hoppy & zesty.  Cracking beer.  It's another bottle conditioned ale, a cloudy, golden hue.  Excellent.

anyone tried the new Guinness golden ale ?

Had a few seshes on the pear cider a while back mate, it's alright when the weathers nice and hot.

Been trying to lay off the booze recently in an attempt to be a bit healthier, not sure it's working though so might have to change that this weekend when I'm not on childminding duty.

Woodchuck Pear Cider

Strongbow classic apple cider but Australia's own brand, not a patch on the UK stuff but hey oh when in Rome !

Thornbridge Otto Weizen Doppelbock 8% 5/5

A deep brown-red colour, with a warm, fruity, sweet hit on the nose.  Light hint of chocolate, fruit, and a mild sweetness that reminds me of something I can't put my finger on and it leaves on that freshly sweet note. Even though I really enjoyed this, it got lost a bit as an accompaniment to my Sunday roast.  Can see it working a lot better with stodgier, simpler fair, pie & mash, sausage & mash, you get the picture. 

Just read the bottle blurb, and it mentions bubblegum & liquorice, that could be the familiar sweetness I experienced. 

Lovely single malt my Dad brought back from his trip around Scotland.
