Kanifee likes that a lot.

First bottle I ever had I chilled. Apparently a huge mistake on my part and a school boy error of a green ale drinker. Chilling it killed any hop profile it had and just intensified the bitter hops disproportionately, I really did not enjoy it and was mistified why it got so much praise.

I got my self a bottle today (the one In the picture) to christen my first. All grain brew and at room temp it was phenomenal, complex hop character with light peach and tangerine notes I just didn't get last time. Needless to say. 3 more bottles were purchased and I now want a home brew recipe for a clone though I doubt it would do it justice..... Phenomenal ale, really really well crafted pale ale.
 
Beautifully put. Try and get your hands on some Torpedo, they don't sell it in supermarkets but you should find it in a speciality shop and I've seen it in some bars. It's like the Pale Ale but so much better! :D
 
Torpedo extra ipa? I'll make sure I get my hands on it, i really need to get into some specialist shops around my area as I have drank most of mrrisons and tesco ale shelf to the brink.
 
That's the one. I just had a quick check, Tesco seem to be stocking the Torpedo now (£2.18 a bottle/ £6.23 a litre) though. Worth buying one or two, but I doubt it'll be a regular visiting to my house at that price. :(

Yea, I've exhausted the Tesco & Asda ale/'premium' beer shelves. Stone Brewing Company are also well worth checking out, sure I've bleeted on about them before though.
 
I'll grab two if I can find them on the shelf, should be tasty. Don't think I've seen anything from stone yet so I will keep an eye out for them.


Pardon the grammar fart, bloody touchscreen keyboard is **** for lengthy forum work.
 
Just some lame diet coke... what I would give for a nice cool cider or beer.. but unfortunately someone got very drunk and lost their ID... (incase you didn't get it it was me)
 
Yorkshire tea.

Me and my other half have decided we've been drinking a bit much lately (pretty much every night) so we've decided to not drink if we're staying in (unless people are coming to our house!)
