Magic Rock Brewing – Lemon-dayz Cloudy Lemonade IPA (6.0% ABV)
Many beers have bold citrus flavours, mainly through hops, but some also have added flavouring. Lemon is not the most obvious one to add, I find that lemon flavouring added to food and drink can be overpowering, and this is an IPA not a sour. In this beer though, it is lemons rather than flavouringContinue reading “Magic Rock Brewing – Lemon-dayz Cloudy Lemonade IPA (6.0% ABV)“

Fungtn- Lions Mane IPA (0.4% ABV)
I’ll admit that I quite enjoyed the Chaga Lager from Fungtn so thought that I would dip my toes into another mushroom-based beer from the same company, this time in the form of Lion’s Mane IPA which is brewed using organic Lion’s Mane mushrooms. Will the mushroom addition work as well in a completely differentContinue reading “Fungtn- Lions Mane IPA (0.4% ABV)”
Sheep in Wolf’s Clothing (SIWC) – Easy Rinder Hefeweizen (0.5% ABV)
Another very low ABV beer from Sheep in Wolf’s clothing, at 0.5% so effectively alcohol free. This one being a Hefenweizen but with a bit of a twist, with a mandarin flavour rather than the more usual banana or clove notes. This is achieved by the addition of mandarin oil during the brewing process. SoContinue reading “Sheep in Wolf’s Clothing (SIWC) – Easy Rinder Hefeweizen (0.5% ABV)”

Welcome back to the Eternal Hoptimists! Today John is taking a trip over the pond to our ‘fair weather’ cousins in the wind city, USA to try their Palm Shade.
