Hi there fellow beer lovers, Sam is back in the saddle for our latest low ABV review, this time with Brulo’s Sabro Galaxy (0.5% ABV). With a hop-forward name like that, expectations are naturally raised and given Brulo’s track record in this category, there’s plenty of interest in how much flavour can be delivered atContinue reading “Brulo : Sabro Galaxy, DDH IPA (0.5% ABV)”

Campervan X Drop Project : Alpine Tour, Grapefruit & Mandarin (2.2% ABV)
Welcome back! For this part of our low ABV series, Kayla is taking the wheel as we head into the Campervan x Drop Project Alpine Tour. This collaboration brings together two breweries well known for thoughtful, flavour-driven beers, and it offers a chance to see how that approach translates within the lower alcohol space. AsContinue reading “Campervan X Drop Project : Alpine Tour, Grapefruit & Mandarin (2.2% ABV)”
Heaps Normal – Quiet XPA (0.5% ABV)
A new year has begun, so as is tradition, we are turning their attention to a category that continues to evolve and improve: low ABV beer. This year we’ll be taking a considered look at a selection of beers from Brulo, Heaps Normal, and a couple of others too. As always, we’ll be approaching eachContinue reading “Heaps Normal – Quiet XPA (0.5% ABV)”
Dark Revolution – Party People DDH Pale Ale (5.2% ABV)
Looking at the can art, the beer should probably be named 24 Hour Party People, but presumably that is trademarked or something. There are definite nods to the Madchester rave scene and acid house with the yellow ‘smiley’ face. At the same time, it keeps the Dark Revolution vibes as it reveals the skull underneath.Continue reading “Dark Revolution – Party People DDH Pale Ale (5.2% ABV)”
Roosters Brewing Co – California Common West Coast Amber Ale (4.2% ABV) #CaliforniaCommon
Welcome back to The Eternal Hoptimists and our latest review. A beer created in the style of the San Francisco so called ‘steam beer’. It’s an amber ale but fermented with lager yeast that aims to be smooth with only medium bitterness. This beer falls into the easy drinking category, but is far from bland,Continue reading “Roosters Brewing Co – California Common West Coast Amber Ale (4.2% ABV) #CaliforniaCommon”
Tartarus – Gretel (8% ABV)
Welcome back to The Eternal Hoptimists and another beer review. Historically the porter style has always been a firm favourite of mine so when I received a imperial/double porter from the excellent Tartarus Beers, needless to say I was very excited at the prospect. Perhaps my only slight concern would be as to whether theContinue reading “Tartarus – Gretel (8% ABV)”
Wrexham Lager Beer Company Limited – Wrexham Lager Export (5% ABV)
Hello, and welcome to The Eternal Hoptimists, and also Welcome To Wrexham! No, of course we are not reviewing the Disney football documentary featuring Deadpool and the other bloke, that would be just silly! We are in fact taking a look at a beer that does feature in the series, in the form of WrexhamContinue reading “Wrexham Lager Beer Company Limited – Wrexham Lager Export (5% ABV)”
Abbeydale Brewery – Deception (4.1% ABV)
Hello Beer lovers, and welcome back to another review here at TEH. It goes without saying that a high percentage of beer drinkers will have heard of Abbeydale Brewery even if they have not tried their beers, many of which can be found in pubs across the country, in particular their core range. In thisContinue reading “Abbeydale Brewery – Deception (4.1% ABV)”
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”
