Nature Beers!

Hot clanking pachinkos!!! It's the weekend! Beer Saturday by crikey and what a well-deserved beer Saturday it is! I have had a hoach on me as big as the Pink Panther for some days now and it is time to get all Inspector Clouseau.

We are changing things right up this week. We are getting back to nature. That's right, I mean we are going to the ends of the flat earth to seek out beers which have got grass and bits of leaf in them.

Sound crazy? Hella crazy!

So let's get stuck in!

The Wild Beer company have been a brewery that has consistently let me down but like a benevolent God, I have put away the smitey stick and instead am holding out yet another olive branch for them. Can they pull it all back with this funky looking beer aged in Sauternes Casks with mad things in it like samphire and pine?

What the fling flang? I am getting flashbacks to that twoddle I tried last week that just poured foam?

I got a bad feeling about this.

Finally, by pouring more slowly than a snails ejaculation I managed to get something other than sheer froth into the glass. I am surprised by the ruddy redness of the beer. Could be good?

What say you video man?

Rye, dirt and something else. I think that is pretty succinct. At first, the rye made it almost ok but as I drank it became more and more honking.

This rarely happens but in the end, I couldn't finish it and down the plughole, it went.

Oh no! 3/10 booms! I guess the colour and the initial rye flavour saved it from ZERO BOOMS!

So what now, will the Gods of beer come down on foamy chariots and save the day?

I can barely pronounce this one, Pohjala from Estonia. Goodness, that's far away, isn't it? I mean, is it? Hell, I don't know. Someone tell me if I can get the bus to Estonia because otherwise, it's far away. And not yesterday's bus, please. :O)

This is a Forest inspired, black IPA with blueberries and pine once more. It had better be better than the last one! I might stamp a foot if it isn't!

Oh, that is satisfying! Look at the colour of this cheeky little todger! It froths up a big foamy tan head but not a ridiculous one like the last one. Admittedly it does get a bit too frisky and gallop over the edges of the glass but I will forgive the hussy this one time.

How does it taste, shall we see in the flesh?

Ah, that is lovely. When I say turpy as in the fabulous stuff that you clean brushes with I mean that particular astringency you get, say with Retsina. One of my favourite wines! Ah, glory days. I don't get any blueberry notes whatsoever but it is a fine toasted malt and caramel beer. A hint of toffee coffee about it. If only it had had some of that blueberry it would have been a stonker! 8/10 booms!

Well, I have had my ups and had my downs and now it is time to gobble down some more tasty beers and salute the end of the summer! I bid you a good weekend!

Cheers!!
