I fucked up massively last night. Was in Waitrose for a change and overwhlmed by a wealth of unfamiliar choices I ventured away from my usual drops: Badger's Golden Champion/Stinger, London Pride, Spitfire and this lovely stuff: http://www.shepherd-neame.co.uk/beers/index.php?bottle_1698 Mmmmm. Lovely. I like strong hoppy beers.
So last night on a bit of a whim I went for a bottle of Tribute http://www.tributeale.co.uk/ which I have to say was lovely. Then it all went wrong. I was intrigued by a new (to me) Badger ale called Blandford Fly. I bought two bottles without reading the label. It turned out to be super sickly sweet and spiced with ginger. It really was retchingly sickly. I poured it away and put the other bottle away in a cupboard out of sight. The last one of my four was a bottle of St Peter's Organic bitter. It comes in an oval profile bottle and I remember getting quite into it at the last Bright Times. I must have been high that day or something because inoffensive and bland as the initial sip was it has a honking stinky waft of an aftertaste that shoots up your nose like a wheelie bin on a hot day. Cabbage farts and dettol. Fucking disgusting. I persevered for about a third of it then poured the rest away too.
So of the four bottles of beer I bought last night I actually only got one. Rubbish.
