Graham Strong is drinking an Alpha by The Huskie Craft Beer Company at Untappd at Home
An absolute cracker of an IPA. Smooth, bitter, dry, zesty and boozy. Nails it for me, loved it.

Graham Strong is drinking a Steam Brew Imperial IPA by Privatbrauerei Eichbaum at Għajnsielem
I'm not getting the negative reviews for this IPA. It's very hoppy, bitter, sweet, smooth and, of course, boozy, as well as being really bloody tasty. I liked it a lot.

Graham Strong is drinking a ROCK'N'ROLL by BIRRIFICIO AGRICOLO BALADIN - Baladin Indipendente Italian Farm Brewery at Għajnsielem
This is more like it. After two beers from these guys that promised spice and were far too subtle this one delivers! A black pepper pale that's really peppery. Fruity, bitter and a real spicy tingle on the tongue. Best of a very good bunch.

Graham Strong is drinking a NAZIONALE by BIRRIFICIO AGRICOLO BALADIN - Baladin Indipendente Italian Farm Brewery at Għajnsielem
A very nice Italian take on a Belgian style that I'm enjoying here in Malta. Smooth and sweet, but like the other by this brewery I'm not picking up much of the promised spice. It's there, more than their Nora, but very subtle.

Dark, rich, very sweet, very boozy. Like an indulgent dessert. One to sip and savour. Half litre bottle is a bit too big for something this strong, but I managed somehow. Lush.
