Unity Hush


tags: can, pale ale, Unity

This was one of those where you pick it up at lunchtime because it's hot out and the label is fun, but I do have to commend them on a very smooth pale ale. I must have drank it in a hurry because now that I write this I don't remember much else besides that: smooth.

LNER Hop On Board Golden Ale


tags: can, ale, LNER

You know, if you've got to do a train beer, you could do a lot worse than this and pay a lot more. £4 for a 440ml can, 4% ABV, and decently tasty. I'd recommend just bringing your own beer if you can, but this makes a good holdover if you can't.

Mikkeller Peter, Pale and Mary


tags: can, gluten-free, pale ale, Mikkeller

A gluten-free pale ale! Fun yellow can, much better flavor than I expected. Super fruity, enjoyable drink, with only a hint of the aftertaste that comes with gluten-free beers (the one that feels like you've got fake wheat in your mouth). Great lunchtime beer.

Drygate Disco Forklift Truck


tags: can, mango, pale ale, Drygate

Mango pale ale - my first mango-infused beer (though I've heard weirdly good things about the Mango Bud Light from my American friends). My partner really liked it, I thought it was just OK. Fun can design.

Hogs Back Traditional English Ale (T.E.A.)


tags: ale, bottle, English, Hogs Back

Surrey-grown "Fuggles" hops (had to look that up). It may be the label influencing this, but it tasted distinctly "farm-y", like the liquid equivalent of a hard day's work.
