Billy A. is drinking a Gardens of Green Double IPA II by Burnt Mill Brewery September 9, 2021

Sweet, rich and juicy. Grapefruit base with sweet lime and lemone, juicy mango and maybe even a touch of lychee. Banging.

Billy A. is drinking a Diamonds In My Mouth (Batch 9) by SpindleTap Brewery at Untappd at Home September 8, 2021

I’m very pleased I have another one of these. Thick and juicy with lots of twiggy hop, green leaf and lime peel. Bitterness is almost balanced in an appropriate fashion. Mostly it’s all juice.

Billy A. is drinking a Friends of A Feather by 3 Sons Brewing Co. September 8, 2021

Sweet and boozy, with lots of candied fruit. A touch of burn at the end. A touch cloying but a big and fruity thing, as expected. I suspect it’s not that youthful, but the canned on date is blurry :)

Billy A. is drinking a Pendragon by Tintagel Brewery Ltd at Tintagel Brewery Limited September 5, 2021

Solidly bitter with a nice chunk of fruit. Tasty pale.

Billy A. is drinking an Oude Geuze Boon Black Label (2015) by Brouwerij Boon at Untappd at Home August 31, 2021

I failed to keep this bottle for as long as I planned, but it is ace. Dry, softly funky and without any bottle-ageing off notes. Just all mellow and delightful.
