Prelude - Beers Of The Beano - Saturday 04 January 2025 #Ale #Beer #Bier

Hocus Pocus - Loddon - 4.6% ABV. B+ and a bit, well balanced malt forward Winter Ale. Hint of fruit and a lingering bitter finish #ale #beer #bier 3.3/5. Early start with an Amber Snow and Ice warning for most of Wales from 18:00. Spoons January Sale now on.

Whakapapa - Hop Union - 4.2% ABV. B+ and a bit, light and tropical. Nicely refreshing and drinking very well. Fruity bitter finish #ale #beer #bier

Stones - Beak / The Seed - 6.5% ABV. B++, UK / US Collab. Malty, hoppy, slightly Fruity and effervescence. Really works #ale #beer #bier 3.5/5. Superior Ale under old style Tungsten lighting. Children have arrived. Luckily the alcohol has numbed my reactions #Caerphilly

Speed Medium - Neon Raptor - 6.0% ABV. B++, malty, hoppy, sweet fruit, lemony and refreshing. Complex fruity, bitter finish #ale #beer #bier 3.5/5. A lovely Summer Ale in the middle of a cold Winter’s day in The South Wales Valleys. Wishing for Spring 🍻

Equilibrium - Dark Element - 6.5% ABV. B++ and a touch. Hoppy, malty, sweet fruit and stone fruit. Full slightly bitter finish #ale #beer #bier 3.6/5. Nice full body, stronger but not alcohol forward. Great on a cold Winter’s afternoon. Nice warm at Dark Element’s Taproom #caerphilly

Sinister - Dark Element - 4.0% ABV. B++, hazy, juicy, fruity and tropical with a gentle fruity, bitter finish. Tidy brew #ale #beer #bier 3.5/5. Always some great local brews in The Project #Caerphilly. Two thirds seems to be the way forward here. Fridge decent too.
