[quote:3pgh3sc4]Although I was less than impressed with the Summer Ale I picked up at the weekend. I found it very bland and uninteresting, little to distinguish it from yer generic lager, I felt. Nothing special imparted by the Grains of Paradise. [/quote:3pgh3sc4]I enjoyed it, purely from the perspective that it's a wheat beer that's a little different to the weiss/wit style. I thought I tasted creamy, honey flavours, subtle but not a bad summer session beer.

I had Sierra Nevada Bigfoot last night. Now there's a beer you wouldn't call bland! This is only the second barleywine I've tasted and I preferred it to Young's Old Nick. It took me a while to finish it though...
