Beers to note - August 2017

August wasn't a busy beer drinking month. At the beginning of the month I did manage to try a few different brews down in Cornwall but the last 3 weeks of the month were busy at work which prevented any school night drinking. This also shows in the more standard ABV of the beers compared to July 2017.


Lushingtons (Skinners) - 4.2% | Cask Pint

Not sure if drinking closer to the source makes the beer taste better or is potentially fresher, but this beer was a fine accompaniment to a wonderful pub meal, without having any overpowering or off flavours.




Cali American Pale Ale (Tiny Rebel) - 5.6% | Keg Half Pint

I happened across this beer part way through my London Drinker deliveries. I hadn't seen it before, so had to give it a go. It was a hopped fruity APA that went down oh so quickly. If I hadn't been delivery the mags I would have had turned it into a pint.

Unfiltered Lager (Fullers) - 5% | Keg Pint

I wasn't sure what to expect with this from Fullers. I half expected it to be an unfiltered Frontier as that is their lager, but thankfully it was a completely different pilsner style lager which was hazy.



Small Batch Brews Baobab (St Austell) - 5.2% | Bottle 330ml

I picked this beer up at the Eden Project when down in Cornwall. I was intrigued by the label and what it said Baobab adds to the beer. To be fair, I couldn't tell what it added to the flavour, but I must say this was an nice Wit Bier.

Lager (Truman's) - 4.5% | Keg Half Pint
I not been a fan of the Truman beers I've come across in both keg or cask. I seen the beer but avoided it and ordered something else. However after getting talking to the barman I decided to give it a try and I must say this is the best beer I've tasted by Truman's so far.
