218. Left Hand Sawtooth Ale.

Ship in a Bottle. USA. 4.8%. Page 175.

Very lively and rose up in the bottle when opened. Bitter but not too strong. Bright colour easy to drink.

217. Hop Rod Rye.

Ship in a Bottle. USA. 8%. Page 155.

This is bitter. A taste of lemon but there is much more going on. Strong and you can feel the alcohol. I quite like this one.

216. Ardenne Blond.

Trembling Madness. £5.25. 7.5% Norway. Page 316.

215. St Peter's Cream Stout.

Ship in a Bottle. England. 6.5%. Page 811.

Very dark and Strong beer. Liquorish taste easy to drink.

214. Hobsons Postman's Knock.

Ship in a Bottle. England. 4.8%. Page 151.

Deep dark colour. Bitter taste. Very easy to drink.

Ship in a bottle. Belgium. 5.5% Page 779.

Very fizzy beer. Has a sour and sweet taste. Interesting the sour undertone is overtaken by the sweet fizzy taste its almost like sucking a sweet. Too sweet for me.

212. Girardin Gueuze 1882.

212. Girardin Gueuze 1882.

Beermania. 5.5%. Belgium. Page 885.

Great colour and head. A real mix of flavours. This really fizzed in the mouth. A little overwhelmed by the dry tannins but you can still taste the sweetness. I also thought this was a little sour. Overall a nice drink to sit back savour and take your time with.
