Complicated flavours ?

As in you've had a skinful offshore.

I love the stuff paulina and erdinger are brilliant

I prefer the Belgian Witbiers to the Weiss although they are both similar.

To put it another way.. It makes you realise how shite your average lager is...

Cans of Bulmers pear cider and Stella have provided contentment for me this afternoon on the patio.

I'm getting into Belgian and German beers now. Some of them are a bit insipid, but the dunkel (dark) and rauch (smoked) ones are ellish. Still can't beat British beers though, particularly stouts and milds.

Czech beer is also pretty decent

I don't think I've tried it, any recommendations?

Had some cracking ones lately. The mud city stout that they have in home bargains is absolutely fantastic. Currently supping on owld Roger. 7.4%. Lush!

I'm into Belgian beer at the minute, there's a cracking micro pub that's opened in Stockton called Golden Smog, have about 40 different bottled beers and 5 ales on draft. They have one called Kwak and it comes served like this.

Where abouts in Stockton Joe?

Tiger and cobra beers, very smooth.

I'm frequently appalled at the difference between the draught, bottled, and canned versions of the allegedly same beer.
Heineken is probably the best example but my current pet peeve is Cruzcampo. The draught version quenches your thirst faster than you can say faster, while the cans are totally undrinkable. Alhambra bottled beer is lush wheareas the cans are foul.

Just off the High Street down an alley called Hambletonian Yard.

Sounds like summit off a Jonny Fartpants episode out the Viz..

We used to sell Kwak in our pub and it made me chuckle no end the number of people who carefully extricated the glass from the cradle to drink.

Errrr, just use the wooden handle you wallies.

Lush!

I like the Westmalle Tripel a lot, but to be honest, when I tried the Dubbel I was a bit underwhelmed.

Get Tongerlo tried if you haven't already. Mind it's "only" about 6.5% (my gripe with most Belgian beers is their ridiculously high drunking factor)

Love a wheat beer, was in Brugge a couple of weeks ago, so much choice, heaven.

If anyone comes down for the Notts County game go in the Canalhouse near the Railway Station. They have several hundred bottled beers from all over the world, a lot of them Belgian. Quite dear like.

Not been into the canalhouse, into my Belgian beers are the minute though. The delerium beers and barbar are particularly good. There's a pub by mine, Lincolnshire poacher, has some world beers in it, might be worth a look!

An American ale called Blue Moon is a nice drink, big fan of pale ales.

Try adding a wee bit of orange into it. Really nice.

You know while I was writing it I just knew somebody would do exactly that.

I'm glad we're on the same page.

Joe Mac · **Posted:** Wed Jun 24, 2015 11:21 am

So is it Orange wee or a wee bit of orange?

Lord_of_Stranton · **Joined:** Sun Mar 13, 2011 4:48 pm **Posts:** 1852

Depends how many you've had beforehand.

Joe Mac · **Posted:** Wed Jun 24, 2015 11:27 am

Sierra Nevada is another nice American pale ale. Not sure on the urine content needed on this drink though.
