Münchner Weisse - Höfbrau - 5.1% ABV. B++, how to describe a quality Wheat Bier? I can’t but this is a quality brew #ale #beer #bier
3.5/5. Drinking German 🇩🇪 Drinking Wheat. Different but absolutely quality. Listening to Windows Weekly with @thurrott

Raspberry Jam Donut - Amundsen - 6.0% ABV. B+ and a touch, wonderful fruity aroma. Big Raspberry fruity taste with a gentle tart and sour body #ale #beer #bier
3.4/5. Norwegian 🇳🇴 pastry sour. Big and Red, refreshing. 767 miles from Chippenham. What a Beano is all about.

Space Weather - Phantom Brewing - 6.9% ABV. B++, solid murk, malty, hoppy, fruity with hints of spice. Spicy, bitter finish #ale #beer #bier
3.5/5. Back at the Prince of Wales Micro #mb03. Great welcome and an excellent selection of Fine Ales. Always worth a visit.




Caught By The Fuzz - Windsor and Eton - 5.0% ABV. B+ and a bit, malty and earthy in the base, tart and gently sour with an earthy bitter finish #ale #beer #bier
3.3/5. Upped from 3.1 to 3.3. Pleasing but I feel that there is something missing. Spoons is quite, maybe the weather and Easter?

Prelude - Beers Of The Beano - Saturday 19 April 2025
#Ale #Beer #Bier #mb03
Patron Saint - Elgood’s - 4.3% ABV. B+ and a touch. Malty with a fruity base. Gentle earthy, bitter finish. Pleasant #ale #beer #bier
3.1/5. Back Beanoing for #mb03 Chippenham, Easter 2025. Of course it raining but it’s all rather relaxing. Prost!




Spring Tide - Gower Brewery - 4.2% ABV. B+ and a bit and a touch. Well balanced, malty, hoppy, slightly dank and earthy with a fruity, bitter finish #ale #beer #bier
3.4/5. Tasty Tuesday in The Tumble Inn #Pontypridd so the guest ales are £1.49 a Pint. Raining out and drippage in.

Take Me Back To The Future - State Of Kind Brew - 5.4% ABV. B+ and a bit or maybe B++. Hoppy, fruity, juicy and slightly Peppery. Peppery bitter finish #ale #beer #bier
3.5/5. Or maybe 3.3/5. New Brewery to me and this one is from Wigan. Huge lingering Peppery finish. Not unpleasant.

Peach Rings - Vault City - 6.0% ABV. B++ and a touch. Even better, fruity, juicy with a refreshing gently sour body. Awesome mouthfeel #ale #beer #bier
3.6/5. Saturday in The Project with a refreshing Vault City brew. This is how to enjoy Fine Ales. Listening to TWiT.

Ronin - Dark Element - 6.2% ABV. B++, fruity, hoppy, juicy and slightly dry. Lingering fruity, bitter finish. Really good brew #ale #beer #bier
3.5/5. Back at the Project and they have tables and benches outside. This and new cans in the fridges is going to make this a good afternoon.




Jaipur - Thornbridge - 5.9% ABV. B++ and a touch. A classic in wonderful condition. Hoppy and very citrusy with a strong citrus, bitter finish #ale #beer #bier
3.6/5. Spoons going for a classic and at £2.29 a Pint you can’t go wrong. However at 5.9% it’s one to take your time over and savour.

Rutterkin - Brewster’s - 5.0% ABV. B+ and a bit, light with sweet malt to start with a grapefruity body. Citrus bitter finish #ale #beer #bier
3.3/5. Strangely stronger than its last outing but still a little thin. Lingering finish. A good sunny weather brew. Malcolm Uphill, Caerphilly.


Cornish Blackberry Crumble and Clotted Cream Sour Cream - New Bristol / Bluntrock - 6.0% ABV. B++, fruity, tart and sour. Refreshing and moorish #ale #beer #bier
3.5/5. Apparently a Winter Ale but works equally well in Spring. Always had a soft spot for New Bristol Brewery and this is no different. Tidy.

Lapsang Souchong Smoked Porter - Steam Machine - 7.4% ABV. B++ and a touch. Complex and very interesting. Malty, bitter, tea, sharp and smokey #ale #beer #bier
3.6/5. The thing about Weird Dad is he gets some really great Fine Ales. Smoked Ale with tea. Complex and really good.

CAMRA Man - Weird Dad - 4.2% ABV. B+ and a bit, pale, light and refreshing. Gently malty and hoppy. Hint of fruit and bitterness in the finish #ale #beer #bier
3.3:5. Was 4.9% and is now 4.2%. Politics, taxation and Fine Ales. Not going any further, however, you can guess.


Eternal Spring - Quantock Brewery - 4.5% ABV. B+ and a bit. Light, malty, fruity, gently juicy and sweet. Sweet fruit with a hint of bitterness in the finish #ale #beer #bier
3.3/5. Light Pale’s are seeming appropriate now. The wind may be from the East and cold but the Sun is strong. Spring, maybe?

Winter Fuel - Weird Dad - 4.4% ABV. B++, A Porter like a Porter should be. Big and malty, burnt notes. Dry, bitter, burnt finish #ale #beer #bier
3.5/5. Weird Dad before I get to Weird Dad and it’s an Excellent Porter. Could just sit here and watch the world go by #newport



White Dwarf - Oakham Ales - 4.3% ABV. B+ and a bit, malty with a complex hop base. Dry leading into a gentle fruit bitterness in the finish #ale #beer #bier
3.3/5. A quality Pale Ale on a very sunny Saturday Beano. Getting a strong lingering bitterness now. Despite all, life is good.
