Sampled this weekend;

Everards Tiger Triple Gold
Slightly darker in colour than Tiger, more a copper colour than gold. Fruity and a touch sweet 5.0%.

JW Lees Hopping Mad
Not sure where the hops are in this, certainly not evident. A poor tasteless mild with no redeeming features even the malt had a watery feel. One to avoid 3.5%.

Okells Isle of Man Red
Ruby red ale with a fruity palate and hints of nuts 4.7%.

Batemans Dragons Den
Amber in colour and not dis-similar to the brewery's Autumn Fall. Hops and fruits in evidence but a nice clean / fresh taste in the mouth 4.1%.

along with (previously sampled)
Acorn Barnsley Bitter
Acorn Darkness
St Georgen Brau Keller Bier

Maybe the name Hopping Mad is a reference to the state of mind of the consumer when he or she tastes the beer after assuming it promised a hoppy experience.

Managed to pop in to the Beverley Court Hotel last night and they had a couple of beers on that I find particularly enjoyable. One that I've recently mentioned on here Marstons Dragons Tale and a long-standing favourite of mine, Brains Reverend James. :D

Had a couple of familiar brews last night (Adnams Broadside and Batemans XB) plus some new to me;

Titanic White Star
Blonde bitter, very hoppy, in fact a little too hoppy for my palate. Also a peppery aftertaste 4.8%.

HB Clarks Elementary Mild
Unspectacular but pleasant dark beer with a hint of chocolate 3.8%.

Saltaire Big Apricot Ale
Golden ale, hoppy but the apricot was too overpowering 5.0%.

Earlier this week;

Thwaites Highwayman
Dark ale with (what is described as a 'smokey') malt flavour and hints of chocolate. Very nice 4.0%.

Summer Wine Brewery Furnace Gold
Another dark ale with a roasted malt palate and bitter aftertaste. Again very nice 4.2%.

Both ok but not really my thing.
