Tooth & Claw – Squeeze Please (4.3% ABV)
Today we are looking at a rather interesting lemon gose from Tooth & Claw named Squeeze Please that comes in a rather attractive can. For those who may be unaware Tooth & Claw is the craft beer arm of long established Camerons Brewery that are probably best known for their more traditional styles. This oneContinue reading “Tooth & Claw – Squeeze Please (4.3% ABV)”
Hyllie Bryggeri – Black Sheep Black IPL (5.5% ABV) #BlackLager #BlackIPL
Welcome back to the weird and wonderful world of beer. The only IPL I’ve come across is the cricket one so finding this in a remainder box from Beer 52 is something of a curiosity. IPL being Imperial Pale Lager is a new style and here we have a black expression of it. Something thatContinue reading “Hyllie Bryggeri – Black Sheep Black IPL (5.5% ABV) #BlackLager #BlackIPL”
Siren Craft Brew – Party in the Dark Nitro Milk Stout (4.6% ABV) #MilkStout
Welcome back beer lovers. We do love a stout here at Hoptimist Towers and have been impressed with some of the ‘Nitro’ versions that are now available. This one has a modest ABV but promises much in terms of flavour. Once again, this is a recommended ‘fast pour’ style one, with the can held vertically.Continue reading “Siren Craft Brew – Party in the Dark Nitro Milk Stout (4.6% ABV) #MilkStout”
Abbeydale Brewery – Sheffield Stout (4.5% ABV) #Stout
Welcome back beer lovers. The label states ‘A classic stout inspired by our heritage, our location and the history of the city we call home.’ So, in true Yorkshireman’s terms a no-nonsense beer for no nonsense Yorkshire folk… Sounds just my thing. Not had many Abbeydale beers in cans, but their cask beers are usuallyContinue reading “Abbeydale Brewery – Sheffield Stout (4.5% ABV) #Stout”
Fierce Beer X Otherworld Brewing – Sugi (4% ABV)
When I collected my latest beers for review, one in particular stood out as sounding like a very interesting and complex brew. This beer is a collaboration between Fierce Beer and Otherworld Brewing called Sugi which is a Japanese rice lager with cedar wood spirals……told you it sounded interesting and complex! 1. Name : Sugi 2.Continue reading “Fierce Beer X Otherworld Brewing – Sugi (4% ABV)”
Wilde Child Brewing – The Magic Flute Vienna Lager (4.8% ABV) #ViennaLager
Welcome back lovers of great beer. Vienna Lager is one of my favourite lagers and one often overlooked by UK brewers, so I was pleased to see this one on the Wilde Child website. It’s their first attempt at brewing one so it certainly promises to be interesting. They’ve drawn inspiration from the world ofContinue reading “Wilde Child Brewing – The Magic Flute Vienna Lager (4.8% ABV) #ViennaLager”
Roosters Brewing Co – Beyond The Peel Satsuma Pale Ale (3.8% ABV) #PaleAle
Hello there fellow beer lovers. The Hoptimists do love a bad pun and to be fair to Roosters this beer does manage to go beyond the peel. Fruit peel is frequently added to brews, but this goes a bit further by adding satsuma purée. The first surprise was the colour which is very pale, whenContinue reading “Roosters Brewing Co – Beyond The Peel Satsuma Pale Ale (3.8% ABV) #PaleAle”
St Austell – Korev (4.8% ABV)
Hello Beer lovers, and welcome back to another review here at TEH. I’m pretty certain that anyone reading this review will be familiar with the famous Cornish brewery St Austell, and many of us will have no doubt sampled their most famous brews, Proper Job & Tribute. Well, in this review I will be lookingContinue reading “St Austell – Korev (4.8% ABV)”
Roosters Brewing Co x Birrifico Italiano – The Italian Job Lemongrass & Black Pepper Pale Ale (4.7% ABV) #PaleAle
Welcome back beer lovers. Today we have a review with a continental flavour, a collaboration between Yorkshire and Italy and a reference to a much loved movie of the 1960s. The original Italian Job is a great movie, but how will this collaboration beer fare? Would Mr. Bridger approve? Would Charlie Coker think it greatContinue reading “Roosters Brewing Co x Birrifico Italiano – The Italian Job Lemongrass & Black Pepper Pale Ale (4.7% ABV) #PaleAle”
