New Beer Tryout

 New Beer

so I have tried a local brewery beer that I have heard about but have never had the chance to try until now.

The ale, because it is a real ale is call Old Tongham Tasty or OTT this is a strong ale 6% and is a dark ale that has a very complex taste in fact I don’t think I can say what the taste is other than this is an ale that you sup, it’s not a session ale it’s an ale that you will want to savour the taste.

The ale is brewed by the Hogs Back Brewery in Tongham Surrey U.K. with a look if you can get hold of it as it tends to sell out quickly.

New Beer I Tried

So I have just today tried a new beer that was on the shelves at the local Tesco.

Having tried it I think that it was not one of my better buying decisions, in that I just don't like the taste of this beer.

So what did I buy?

I brought Guinness Cold Brew Coffee Beer

I was looking forward to it, in that I don't mind Guinness, I also like Coffee so you would think that should not present a problem?

But for some reason the two ingredients together for me is a beer that just does not taste nice and it also has a very long after flavour 

why this should be, I just don't know?

I tried the beer correctly chilled as per what is says on the can, I made it the first beer of a session, but sadly its made no change, I even tried it after a strong IPA but the result for me was the same, a beer that has a taste that I can't describe what the taste is, that I just don't like.

Oh well on to the next beer

Real Ale Part 2

 So would you believe it I had the chance to try two more real ales, I know how lucky am I

The first real ale that I got to try is called Telemark Rev 5.0% which is a real ale from Norway!

This is a red session ale and I found it easy to drink, the sad thing is that this probability the only time in my life that I will get to drink this ale, as I am not likely to ever get to Norway to try this ale in its home land.

The second ale that I tried in this session was called Titanic Slipway IPA 5.5% so this was the strongest ale I tried today but the funny thing was that it did not taste that strong.

This was an Amber coloured ale and I found that it was easy to drink.

I must have liked it as I wanted to know what hopes were used in its brewing!

It turns out that it used the following hops Halequin jester and finally northdown

This was a very easy ale to drink and as u said above its very sad but this will be the only time in my life that I get the chance to enjoy and drink this ale.

Real Ales

 So got the chance today to try some real ales, this is a rare event and is one that if given the opportunity I do not turn down.

So the two real ales that I have tried today are

Maxim Olicana 4.6% blond beer, I rather liked this and its sad to say that it did not last very long it was very easy to drink.

The second beer I tried was called Black Sheep Astronomer 4.2% and was a black porter this was nice to try but for me the previous drink tasted better.

Brought 2 beers today, but which to have first?


Tanglefoot?

or

Abbott's Ale?

The choice is hard very hard just which to have
