Nervous Thai Beers!

Here in the northern hemisphere it's dark, miserable and wet but enough about my belly button...

Beer time!! Oh my, oh my and we have a fine pair of salty dog beers to battle it out with each other in the pit!

One of which is a Thai inspired beer from Amsterdam, mad eh? Full of chilli and lemongrass and all that jazz. Maybe that will chase the winter away!

Let's get tore in!!

Well it's jazzy enough. All colours 'n shit on the outside which is all very well and good but I am a man that demands a good inside too.

Let's pour this bad boy.

Plinkity plonk, would you look at that? I don't know if the photo does it justice but it is the perfect gold. As if the sun has ejaculated into an orange peel.

Hmm, perhaps not the best simile if it means I have to drink it.

Well, lovely sun-spunk it may be but this story only has one ending and that is somewhere in my dark nethers. So let's try this Thai!

Damn, it is lovely. Firstly, it is very hoppy then the other Thai inspired flavours cut through, galangal, lemongrass and of course, my favourite, chilli! I feel like I'm riding a beer elephant!

Just a mild heat but a welcome one. I love chilli's in beer! 8/10 booms!

So next we have the curiously named...

I am quite a fan of Fierce Brewing. Although this is a collaboration beer with some mob I have never heard of, I am intrigued.

An entirely different gold from the last, more like a sun setting over a rusting desert. I quite like it, although it has a fair old head whilst also looking to be incredibly flat.

Bizarrely, it is really pungent as well, juicy and fruity smells pouring off the thing.

How is this honking thing going to taste, I really don't know.

But I'm willing to find out!

Oh my flippitty, it's the sourest, tartest beer I have ever tried. Is it good? I really don't know, it's a bit like drinking grapefruity vinegar but with an alcoholic hit at the back of it. At first I think it is foul but for whatever reason I can't stop drinking it.

Fortunately, after it is finished I come to my senses. It's a decent sour, in fact if it was judged as a sour alone it would be a winner but on beer Saturday there has to be some decent beeriness too. 7/10 booms.

Oh well, I'm off to lick a cats litter tray, it might be slightly less bitter than that last beer!

Cheers!
