Cali Pale - Tiny Rebel - 4.6% ABV. B+ and a bit and a touch. Soft, hoppy and fruity start. Fruity body with a lingering gentle bitter finish #ale #beer #bier 3.4/5. The 31c Heatwave Saturday and the Brits don't do heat or any weather for that matter. Tiny Taffy refreshment helps.

Killer Kiwi - Beer Riff - 5.2% ABV. B++, gently fruity on the nose. Big and hoppy, wine, spicy with a sharp, bitter finish #ale #beer #bier 3.5/5. All New Zealand from Swansea and it’s all rather good. Southern Hemisphere hops and an overcast South Wales Valley town.

Weissbier - Augustiner - 5.4% ABV. B++, drinking Münich Wheat. Sharp, malty, wheat, bubblegum with a sharp bitter finish #ale #beer #bier 3.5/5. Sometimes you need a quality German brew 🇩🇪 Really looking forward to Oktoberfest 2025. Especially the Lidl Beer Pack.

Spaceshake: Blueberry - MakeMake - 5.0% ABV. B++, thick, murky, fruity, tart and slightly sharp. Gentle sweet, fruity finish #ale #beer #bier 3.5/5. Number 4 on the beer board but there is no Number 4. TCP/IP gives the game away. Probably V4. Tech and Fine Ales.

Existence As A Radical Act - Queer Brewing - 5.0% ABV. B++, not sure if it’s just me but I’m getting lovely Vanilla. Tropical, hoppy and spicy #ale #beer #bier 3.5/5. At #theprojectcaerphilly on Pride Saturday and of course it’s raining. However, rain is good for my garden 🪴

Silver Stallion - Exmoor Ales - 4.3% ABV. B++, excellent Cask Ale. Gentle malt base, hoppy+, bittersweet with a hint of spice. Long bitter finish #ale #beer #bier 3.5/5. They are closing down their brewery and outsourcing their brewing to Hogs Back. Support brewers while you still can.
