Your Beer of the week

Tribute
A Supreme Champion Ale of Cornwall as voted by CAMRA*, and the South West's Favourite cask beer**, Tribute is a popular favourite with locals and visitors to Cornwall, as well as being a much sought after guest ale throughout the rest of the UK. It is brewed using specially grown Cornish Gold Malt.
For foodies, Tribute is a perfect accompaniment to chicken, gammon or fish. The ideal alternative to a fine white wine.
Roger Protz, Editor Good Beer Guide, wrote: "Tribute is a magnificent example of a bronze coloured English bitter, with a rich aroma of biscuity malt and tart citrus fruit from the Willamette hops. Juicy malt, hop resins and tangy fruit coat the tongue, while the finish is long and lingering, with a fine balance between malt, hops and fruit, finally becoming dry and bitter."

Proper beer.

Today had my 1st try of 'real ale'. Walked to remote riverside pub from CL where we are camped and instead of the usual 1/2 of lager decided to try Green Jacks Orange Wheatbeer (mainly because of the nice looking label on the tap!!) & very nice it was ....esp sat out in the sunshine, by the river with a plate of chips & a crusty roll....

good for you, well done :thumb:

Good on you Cupcake. Another convert perhaps?
It's just my hones opinion, but I'd say that you have jumped in at the "deep end", as there aren't many wheat beers around, and it is usually an acquired taste. Well done.

Cornishhaich, that "Tribute" sounds like a tasty beer. I'll look out for that one.

Cheers,

Jock.

Hi Ralph,

I've not experienced many from your latest selection, other than the Pelforth Brune, which is an excellent beer, and one that I always look out for when in France. I am also a fan of Affligem Blonde and Brune. It's not French I know, but it is in France that I have mostly seen and tasted it.

Cheers,

P.S. I have recently been on another of my favourites, Link Removed whilst touring Germany.

I've down to the last few bottles of Buffalo Stout that I brought back from Belgium at Easter:

[Ralph-Dot]

Well I am back and have had loads of beers since the last time on here. Should I just carry on here, should I start a new thread or should I just leave it.

Would anyone be interested?

I for one would be interested , my favourite beer at the moment is by wychwood brewery and called Hobgoblin Gold imo it's superb .

 

[pyro]

Would anyone be interested?

Of course. Not everyone thinks "beer" is called John Smiths, Stella ("Old Wife Beater") Artois or comes in fizzy cans

The Rebellion Roasted Nuts has been my staple through the winter months, now the softy walter lighter efforts have started dominating.

For those drinking in Portugal, the Bohemia craft beers are rather nice, as are the Abadia beers

Well there are two new ones

I think we might need to educate some of these lager drinkers

Agreed pyro. They should be made to try Schiehallion, from the Harviestoun Brewery. It is smashing. A couple of pints of that would soon have them converted.



Cheers,

Jock.

Bless 'em. A couple of pints of dishwater would be an improvement on some of the dodgy refrigerated stuff some of them have the cheek to call beer, I think they'd struggle with some of those Highland brews (I know I have in the past)

edit: Sagres Bohemia: aroma; malts, fruits, floral notes, roasted malts. Look; tarty beige head, copper amber clear body. Taste; roasted malts, berries, caramel, grass, modest hops - leading to a roasted malty finish. Feel; nice on palate.

Well in the spirit of the thread I will offer,

Guest beer of the Month in a bar in Brugges.

And I am of course,

This week I have been drinking Timothy Taylor's new blonde. It's called Knowle Spring after the spring the water comes from. It is my local brewery.

 

[Ralph-Dot]

I did a Top Ten Belgian beers a bit back, I have had many more since, some a lot better but here it is anyway.

This is the review of a box of German Wheat Beers I bought cheap online, there was not a bad one in the box.

[JockandRita]

@Ralph-Dot. If you have run out of German Weissbier Ralph, Aldi do a half decent one called Rheinbacher Weissbier @ 5% ABV, for £1.25 per 500ml bottle. It's as good as Erdinger, Paulaner, or Franziskaner in my opinion.

I am currently on a bottle of Marston's Lancaster Bomber. A nice amber ale @ 4.4% ABV.

[Ralph-Dot]

Talking about Marston's, why use the Pedigree name on so many beers, it docent make sense, or it could be just me.

I must admit Ralph, I've never seen the half of them before, only the top two. I'd like to try a drop of the VSOP though.

Cheers,

Jock.

 

[funflair]

And very nice it was too, dark and malty/barley

Sorry Martin,

No can do Chester, as we knew Rita wouldn't be fit enough to travel that far, and walk into the town. We are booked in for P/boro, if you and Jen are going.

Cheers,

Jock.

Ok all, have had a £hit day today so had a couple before teatime.
First one I am cheating a bit because it is a home brew. A Woodforde's Admirals Reserve, tweaked a bit at barrelling time by adding some spray dried malt. Probably needs leaving another couple of weeks or more before it gets to its best.
It looks like Amber Ale, not to hoppy and really malty with a hint of chocolate. ABV 5.5%
Second one needs no introduction as it has been on here before, Hobgoblin Gold. Only one I prefer more and that is Bank's/Marstons Sunbeam.
