Three Interesting beers last week

Pin It Now! I spent most of last week drinking my Wheatbeer from my minikeg. With low carbonation from the keg, I wanted to drink it before it lost any more. I did have some more interesting beers during the week and here are three of them.

First up for last week was Fiddlers Elbow from the Whychwood brewery. Last night I had a HobGoblin and I did not like it as much as I did the first time. I wonder was that just me or did they change something? Anyway the Fiddlers Elbow however was excellent. It is an English style Pale Ale. There is plenty of Malt to begin with and then the hops kick in. It was low in carbonation and the head did not last very long as you can see though I am not bothered by a long lasting head in a beer. Plenty of Caramel notes, a little citrus and very drinkable.




Next up is my second beer from Wells. It is the Bombardier Buring Gold. I think this is supposed to be an English Pale Ale, though I found it a little more Lager like for me. It went down pretty well but to be honest I can not remember much about it.
I think this is one for a Summber barbeque as it was light, easy to drink and pretty inoffensive so that anyone used to Carlsberg or other mass produced Lager could easily enjoy it.



Marstons Old Empire IPA. This is an American style IPA which is one of my favourite styles. It was a lovely mix of floral and bitter hops, malt and citrus and infinatly drinkable. Perhaps some grapefruit in the background? If it came down to this or the Burning Gold at a Barbeque then for me I would pick this one.
