I was at the beer bloggers conference last weekend, which was rebadged the Beer Now conference. I had a great time meeting brewers, beer bloggers and tweeters as well as trying a load of new beers. As always I went collecting samples for review, here are the bottles that will be receiving the 'baron rating' treatment over the coming weeks:
- Abbeydale Heathen - 4.1% pale ale, wonderfully refreshing American-style pale ale showcasing the marvellous Mosaic hop. Light and sessionable, bursting with tropical fruit flavours and a pleasant citrus bitterness
- Hardknott Long Drop - 4.8% exhilarating session IPA, great flavours, mouthfeel and huge satisfaction
- Hardknott Rheged Fjall - 4.5% pale ale
- Ilkley Alpha Beta - 4.5% rye session IPA, distinctive American hop character. Body and depth from the rye. A little beer that's big and bold
- Lost Industry Black Licorice Gose - 3.9%
- Lost Industry Serie Saison Le Pays Noir - 7.3% dry-hopped black saison
- Sharp's Cornish Pilsner - 5.2% bottle conditioned pilsner, fermented with Czech yeast then lagered on a bed of Saaz hops to create stunning, zesty herbal notes and a delicious clean, citrus flavour
- Twisted Barrel I was made for lovin' - 8% imperial stout
- Twisted Barrel It's Aliiive!! - 6.3% hazy IPA
- Twisted Barrel Soup Dragon - 5.8% lime and chipotle saison
Look out for '
baron ratings' of these beers soon, and a big thank you to all the breweries for handing them over to me!
