For beer aficionados, Innis and Gunn of Edinburgh are reviving an 1875 ‘Artic Ale’. At 9% ABV is is unlikely to be drunk by the pint, but I will certainly be trying some.

#Beer #Ale #InnisAndGunn #Edinburgh

Monster Aquarium - Azvex Brewing - 5.2% ABV. B++, fruity, hoppy, dry with a hint of pepper. Fruity, bitter finish #ale #beer #bier  

3.5/5. Taste, artwork and name. All rather wonderful. That and Sir Dry Roasted is what you need on a Saturday afternoon.

Classic Neapolitan Single Scoop - Vault City - 4.1% ABV. B+ and a bit, gently sour and very much ice cream in a glass. Vanilla really works #ale #beer #bier  

3.3/5. I now want real Ice Cream and there is an Ice Cream Parlour about 2 minutes away. Saturday at The Project.

Double Crema Dream Cake - Pastore - 7.0% ABV. B++ Fruity with vanilla aroma. Strongly tart with a sour fruity body. Tart, fruity with a touch of Coconut finish #ale #beer #bier  

3.5/5. Not Scottish Sour Saturday. I would have no idea this is 7.0% ABV. Totally works. Project, Caerphilly.

Ames Window - Azvex Brewing - 6.5% ABV. B++ and a touch, murky, hoppy with hints of spice and pepper. Citrus with a gentle bitterness in the finish #ale #beer #bier 

3.6/5. One of the beers from The Ptoject #Caerphilly Beer Tasting. A banger. Hunt it down.

Citra Pale - North Riding Brewery - 4.5% ABV.  B++, when you need a really Fine Ale, you need Citra. So Hoppy, Citrus, fruity and bitter. Quality #ale #beer #bier  

3.5/5. A baby has arrived in a baby carrier. Strange Halloween times indeed. Not sure if he’s CAMRA?

Laser Drops - Pentrich Brewing - 4.3% ABV. B++, big southern hemisphere hops. Thick, hoppy, hints of pepper, pine and resin with a gentle bitter finish #ale #beer #bier  

3.5/5. I don’t know who selected the Real Ales but they are wonderful. Cask, Craft is the way forward #Treforest
