Saturday!!! And like a midget on a horse, I am bouncing and bobbing about like mad with excitement!
What could be so exciting though? Beer, or beer and Saturday? Or even an imminent birthday? Wahahhahahah. A gentleman never tells but if he did he would be saying it ain't long.
But back to the beer and away from my finely aged buttocks.
I'm still on the pale beers this week and I have a couple of astoundingly fruity IPA monsters ready to bring me the fight.
It's gonna be so fighty it might turn into a war!
And what would a fine living man wear to a war? A SOMBRERO of course!
Yes, the first beer is called War Sombrero. Ok, that song above is not War Sombrero but it is close enough...
Quite the fantastic name for a beer. What could possibly follow War Sombrero? Surely nothing? But wait, there is something, something dinosaurishly reptilian!!
Reptile Dysfunction!! Who comes up with these names?! Is there a site on the big wobbly web that randomises this shit up? Well, regardless of the name it is a fine-sounding thing, promising bags of juicy fruits and smooth milkshake glory with the added kick of... CHILLI!!!
I love chillis. I literally put them in almost everything that goes into my mouth. Which can often make sexy parties with the Good Lady a bit of a horror show for her...
But anyway, back to the beer!
Let's get started!!
Hot damn. As soon as I saw a beer with a name like War Sombrero I knew I had to have it. It promises all sorts of lovely tastiness, orange, tropical fruit and cream all wrapped up in a glorious IPA body.
Given that IPA's can sometimes be a bit heavy on the hop bitterness a bit of cream would be a fine way to take the edge off.
Let's get this party started.
What a hazy devil. In a golden shining way, like a light bulb full of bees! At least until they started burning. I can smell it too. Like mangos in a swamp.
Actually is quite a pale hazy yellow. Like lemon sherbet. Mmm.
I fucking hate lemony beer... Let's do it then.
Ooft, this stuff is bitter. It looks all the lovely with its pale yellow like the morning sun but then BAM, the bitterness catches you in the back of the throat and you think you are back in Vietnam drinking that fucking awful soup they gave you as if they were doing you a favour.
Far too bitter and rough around the edges for a sophisticated chap like myself. It's still drinkable almost, so a reasonable 5/10 booms.
Cor blimey, someone stick a straw up my charlie and blow me some chocolate bubbles!
Next!
The beast that comprises of real snake juice! This one might be exciting. Or it might be absolutely fucking awful.
As ever, I do this shit so that you don't have to.
The can is wild. The beer sounds wild but it wouldn't be the first time I have been promised the world and not even got a blowie.
Another crazy hazy looking monster. It's literally like someone has stuffed a lion in a blender and served it in a cup with the sun shining behind it.
Although, It looks like there are things swimming about in the murk. I'm slightly feart.
Oh well, here goes.
This stuff rawks! Big, juicy and bold. It packs loads of tropical loveliness especially the mango and the ABV strength is smoothed out in a vanilla-esque way by the lactose.
Whatever the hell lactose is.
I do like it. Very much. It's not spicy, only a hint of habanero but tastes so good I will let it off. 9/10 booms!
Amazeballs! I am having a stonking weekend and I hope you have one too!
Cheers!
Beers night!
The second one sounds top notch, something my local needs to get in stock so they can empty my pockets at the end of the week.
Did your ex-wife's brother really take a swing and miss and then take a hammer-blow to the nads?
The second was a fine one, man! Aye, I was happy to be bought back from the brink after the shittyness of the first!
Sadly yeah, when I split up from my first wife the brother didn't take kindly to the fact. We got in a bit of a scuffle one night when he was drink. He tried to your new about five times with no luck because he was pie-eyed and eventually I had to give him a bit of a whack to just stop the nonsense. I feel a bit embarrassed these days thinking about that kind of stramashery!!!
haha :) Well he started it, or at least tried to.
I think I'll pop to the local to see if they have any of this Vanilla hoppy beer left today, it's been going like hot cakes and is rather awesome. Cheers!
Sounds magic, a nice beer makes everything worthwhile. Although not so much the next day sigh
Fantastic reviews as always, and here I am just on my Plum Porter.
Are IPA's supposed to be bitter? I had an amazing IPA earlier in my local - Bristol Beer Factory produced, defo not bitter, just loverly!
That latter just look like juice! I almost missed the 9/10 booms - you need to get another * in there to bold it up!
Great names this week and cheers, have another
!BEER
Oh man, thank you! I missed a bloody asterix! I fixed it!
They arent usually, the stronger ones sometimes are which always gets my goat cos its my favourite type of pale and I like em smooth!
I really like a plum porter, had one a couple of weeks ago. Magic stuff. Enjoy!!! :OD
Oh plum porter is my absolute fave, I'm having another now, for Little Nell, God rest her soul.
Oh no, who is little Nell, did I miss something?
I just finished The Old Curiosity Shop.
I do love a bit of Dickens at winter, it has to be winter... characters ordering boiled beef and Porter (or at least Ale) is something of a stock feature of most of Dickens' novels.
Although I may just have given away something about the ending of that one.
Read Great Expectations if you haven't already, everyone knows the story but the book is just awesome, modern authors just don't have that power of language.
I have a bit of a thing for the 19th century you know, especially the 1840s - 1860s. Cholera and gender politics aside.
Lol. Yes, you might have given the ending away for that one. Sorry, I totally meant to reply to this earlier but was caught up in feeling a bit rough.
I might just read it when I have time. I haven't read many of the classics despite being quite the reader!
!ENGAGE 25 Cheers!
Hehe, good post. I almost feel the taste of this beers when I read this. Cool. Deserves !BEER
Hehe, cheers!!
I'm loving the sound of the 'war sombrero'... Any beer that tastes
Gets the thumbs up from me 👍👍👍🍻
Thanks for providing this dirty dose of beer porn while I'm unable to imbine of frothy tankard of the good stuff. It keeps me dreaming of better... beer-e-er days 😉
A dirty dose no matter the delivery is definitely worth it!!
Better days are a coming! At least that show I always like to think!
Swamp mangos!!!!! :OD
The snake juice wins.., even though its looks like a pint of orange.. and a pint of shit.., haha.., did you chuck it?
I didn't chuck it but I was tempted to, especially at I got near the bottom. I was very thankful that the reptile nonsense was a big giant orange like of goodness!!!
Do you not have a cat or dog to feed the crappy ones too? Mine dog is a fussy bugger and backs away from beer, can you believe that!
I have cats, man, they won't go near that kind of stuff. They are fussy bastards at the best of times!!!
I have heard that dogs usually like beer so no luck there!
