Beers to note - September 2017

September has been a very quiet month for me and plans to go meet up with mates dropped by the wayside. I had a work day down in Brighton which provided me with a few new beers. But what kept my beer numbers up was the first of my two weeks in India which took place on the last week of September. I've no doubt that quite a few beers will be appearing in my October list as well.

Session IPA (Sambrook's) - 4% | Keg Pint
Sambrook's do solid nice session beers, and this one's description is bang on. It's hoppy and fresh and only coming in at 4% means you can have a few on a night out. I drank this at the brewery itself, so it would have been in perfect condition. The real test is to see if it reaches this same quality level when I happen across it in a pub.


Mongozo Banana (Mongozo) - 3.6% | Bottle 330ml
I picked up this fruit beer down in the Eden Project in August and only got around to drinking it. It had that fake banana smell and taste, but I absolutely loved it. It was like drinking a banana wheat beer. I also had the mango one but didn't like that as much.

Mojito Sour (Tiny Rebel) - 3.5% | Keg 2/3 Pint
That's three months on the trot that Tiny Rebel have had a beer in my beer to notes, and each time its a new one to me. This time round its their low percentage sour beer. It wasn't as lip smacking sour as I was expecting it to be, but was more like a sour IPA. Would definitely get again.


Corbel (Eight Arch) - 5.5% | Keg Pint
I only ended up getting this beer as the one I actually wanted had run dry. I was pleasantly pleased with my choice once tasted. This APA has a huge grapefruit flavour coming through.




Bira 91 White (B9 Beverages) - 4.9% | Bottle 330ml
This was a wonderful wheat beer that had a slight citrus taste to it, but went down very easily.



Kölsch (Independence Brewing) - ?% | Keg 500ml
Unsure of the ABV as not listed anywhere but I would guess it's in the session 4-5% range. This beer had a subtle fruit taste and wasn't overly carbonated, and went down a treat in the heat.

Flip Flop White IPA (Gateway Brewing Co) - ?% | Keg 500ml
As it quite similar with the Indian brews, the ABV's aren't readily available. The beer was had in their taproom and was a perfectly hopped.

Monk's Potion (Gateway Brewing Co) - ?% | Keg 500ml
A much stronger feeling beer and best one they had one. There is early grey tea added to the beer which really compliments this dark Belgian brew.
