Huge beer catchup

Well, it’s not as massive as it might have been as I’ve still got my local’s beer festival to catch up on (some of the later beers here were those that should have been on, but not enough beer got drunk quickly enough, so it wasn’t). Quickly re: boxing, Haye will lose to Valuev on points because it’ll just go like the Holyfield fight except that Haye will have a bit more speed/power, but won’t knock him out and therefore it’ll go to bent German judges again. UFC 104 is ready to watch, but some douchenipple spoiled the main event so I’ve not got round to it yet. Beers:

222 – Kelburn Red Smiddy (4.1%) – 7, nice enough slightly darker ale, not as ruby as the name indicates

223 – Fyne Ale Innishail (3.6%) – 7, lightish ale with grapefruit overtones

224 – Wadworth Stronginthearm (4.0%) – 6.5, fairly middle of the road bitter, slightly hoppy aftertaste

225 – Slaters Premium (4.4%) – 7,  quite pleasant neutral best bitter style beer

226 – Bollington Long Hop (3.9%) – 7, pretty solid beer, leaning towards the hoppy side oddly enough

227 – Hornbeam Dark and Divine (4.0%) – 6, slightly malty and smoky dark ale, fairly standard

228 – Northumberland Wor Bobby (4.0%) – 7.5, fullish and smooth textured ale, slightly malty

229 – Northumberland Legends of the Tyne (4.0%) – 6.5, noticably malty, surprising given the lightish brown colour

230 – Anglo Dutch Kletzwater (4.0%) – 8, good tasting slightly brown dryish session ale

231 – Skinners Figgy’s Brew (4.5%) – 7, fullish darker ale with pleasant malty smoothness

232 – Titanic Lifeboat (4.0%) – 6, ok darker ale, bit heavy and touch smoky, but not that malty

233 – Marston Moor Game Bird (4.1%) – 7, darker ale with toffee notes

234 – Houston Festival Ale (4.0%) – 8, light and well balanced session beer

235 – Titanic Iceberg (4.1%) – 5, very dry and slightly hoppy light beer, almost too dry

236 – Triple F Stairway (4.6%) – 8, slightly sweet balanced light ale, hint of bitterness, very drinkable

237 – Oldershaw Regal Blonde (4.4%) – 8.5, light lager style beer, subtle almost heathery touches, slightly citrusy

238 – Inveralmond Independence (3.8%) – 6, typical warming, malty Scottish ale
