55. Maisel's Weisse.

55.  Maisel's Weisse.   Beer Festival




A cloudy German beer with a light wheat beer taste.  Ok

54. Blandford Fly(er)

54. Blandford Flyer.   Sainsbury.

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  Just out of date but is the original label.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.
 
 

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Found an out of date bottle of Blandford Fly Dram Shop £2.15.

53. Rodenbach Grand Cru.

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.

52.. Adnams Broadside.

52..   Adnams Broadside.     Tesco.

Another spicy citrus bitter.  Very nice.


 


51. Barnsley Bitter.

51.  Barnsley Bitter.  


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.

50. Old Hooky.

50.   Old Hooky.    Asda    £1.79.

Another with a hint of orange.  A very nice drink.

49. Orval

49.     Orval.    Beer Festival.


Very dark with a good head.  Fizzy with a hint of orange. Quiet nice.
