Coffee while still trying to wake up...

Had a little bit of a day out in Glasgow today. Had this at Starbucks. Valencia orange, with a little slice of chocolate and walnut loaf. Very refreshing in this heat

Just had a Mikkeller single hop amarillo, now drinking a Mikkeller single hop MT Hood.

cup of tea, surprisingly refreshing in this heat

Gordons & Tonic. Unsurprisingly refreshing.

Anyone still playing BC2? I fancy a game.

A bottle of dead pony club.

aceface57 · 16 Jul 2013 at 21:51

This is very tasty.

Whats the Hoptimum like? Noticed it suddenly appeared at a few online places.

I have been waiting to try this for ages and have heard lots of good stuff about it. Finally found it in York for £4.20 (beer of the month too) I'm not sure if I got an off bottle, but it really wasn't good at all. I'd go as far as saying the regular Sierra Pale is better.

It's like they tried to make a real hoppy IPA like a Stone but just failed. To say it is supposed to be their best one, it was real disappointment. I think the Southern Hemisphere Harvest is tons better and easily their best to date.

Looks like I'll just be getting the one bottle to try then. Getting a few bottles of the Southern since I liked the Northern one earlier in the year quite a lot. Still got a few bottles of Stone IPA, Ruination and Arrogant B^$%ard from my last order left

Second coffee of the day

randomshenans · 17 Jul 2013 at 09:38

large cappuccino with double shot

Pretty good beer, can't find out though if the 20 refers to the number of hops or something else.

Number of hops. It's all the hops used in the single hop range combined into one.

Ahh makes sense now, I only have three left to try from the single hop range... and they are sitting on my desk just now!

aceface57 · 17 Jul 2013 at 22:27

Quite good, also noticed the forum has had an upgrade? Different picture link box?

Ahleckz · 18 Jul 2013 at 01:09

Balvenie Doublewood.

Kernel's Pale Ale, Amarillo. 5.2%.

It tastes like vanilla. LOVELY.

All gone. Though I did spill a wee bit on my desk! Argh.

Now just heading out to a pub that I've been told has Stone's Pale Ale on tap! :O :O :O :O
