71. 5 Barrel Pale Ale. Beers of Europe.
The first beer in the book. A very dark standard pale ale with a classic taste. Strong and easy to drink. No real aroma but a sweet taste.
An attempt at an impossible task with links to the best suppliers of beers in the uk.

70. Zinne Bir. Ship in a Bottle.
Surprisingly cloudy with a large amount of matter floating in the glass. A standard beer easily drunk. A small bottle didn't last long.

A very dark amber ale with little or no aroma. Pleasant and easy to drink a little fizzy at first then a nice crisp refreshing taste.

This is a very nice complex beer. Smells a little of sweet bananas. Pleasant. The taste is sweet with a hint of toffee and a background taste of Belgium beer.

56. Victory Golden Monkey
56. Victory Golden Monkey. Trembling Madness. York. £4.20. 9.5%
I must say i was very disappointed in the Victory Golden Monkey. This is one i was saving and really looking forward to. It does have a spicy aroma but for me i don't think the taste works.

54. Blandford Fly(er)
54. Blandford Flyer. Sainsbury.
Sainsbury. 5.2% England Page 858.
Seems to have had a slight name change.
Ginger Beer. Actually the ginger is there but not too strong or overpowering. Very nice one of my favourites to date.
Found an out of date bottle of Blandford Fly Dram Shop £2.15.
Sainsbury. 5.2% England Page 858.
I found this bottle of Blandford Fly for sale in the Dram Shop. Just out of date but is the original label. Still a great beer, with that slight ginger taste.

53. Rodenbach Grand Cru. Beer Festival.
Poured into a glass looks like a normal dark beer. But has an distinctive taste almost like a fizzy dark champagne, dry and sweet. Very nice very unusual.

This was one i was not particularly looking forward to and had been left in the bottom of the cupboard for a while. How wrong i was. This is much more than a bottle of Bitter. A light malty aroma and easy to drink with a strong taste of chocolate really making you want another one very soon.
