Great evening. I've been asked to pass along thanks from Trish for letting her join in. Also, big thanks from me for letting me mooch too.
RichieH's nettle beer was incredible, I wasn't sure what to expect from such a beer as I had never tasted anything like it before. There was a really nice dry taste at the back of the mouth and strange but nice aftertaste. I'm still trying to think of what it reminds me of.... some salad leaf, lambs lettuce maybe?
Sbillings' 'lambic', was quite nice too. Didn't like it at the start, but maybe that was just a taste shock after stout. Second and subsequent sips were lovely
Rossa and Kev's un-raspberried ales were very refreshing and would be perfect beach/bbq drinks. Kev's teetered on the edge of lemon alco-pop alright, amazing really, don't know how he did it.
Kev's extremely pink, like Elton John electric pink, ale was very tasty indeed. A more grown up, refreshing alco-pop, again very summery. It'd be very hard to order it in a bar, unless it came in a black bottle and was served into a black glass
And finally, the summer fruit infused camomile beer from Bog_myrtle was nice and refreshing. You could really taste all of the fruits in it without any one fruit being too overpowering.
Excellent stuff all round. There will be some weird experimentation going on with portions of my beer from now on!
Those pictures will need to be posted so that everyone can see the weirdness/pinkness of the evening
