Request a DemoRichie Holmes is drinking a 2nd Birthday DIPA by Sureshot Brewing at Stone
Very good double, venturing into the sweeter profile. Nose is slightly dank, but big tropical notes come straight in to the first sup. Perfect mouthfeel.

Not too bad for a 4% sesh pale, and especially on a reduced price. Nicely hopped, juicy and tropical.

Richie Holmes is drinking a Chocolate & Vanilla Stout by Titanic Brewery at Stone
Wow, nearly 10 years since I first checked this in. It remains an absolute beauty. Smooth, not too sweet, in fact some nice dark chocolate bitterness.

Not too bad but not outstanding. Just a bit timid in the hop department.

Richie Holmes is drinking an American Pale Ale (Vocation) by Marks & Spencer at Stone
There’s some hop profile in there just trying to burst out, but remain subdued and fail to deliver a juicy knockout. It seems dry without trying to be dry. Not unpleasant by any means, but disappointing.

I guess it’s about as a festive pale as could be. The hops are subdued by the festive hints of raisins, etc., and it puts in some sweetness and herbal notes.

Juicy pale, great for abv. Citrus throughout, with some pine in the finish.

Fantastic value APA from Aldi, and it’s all about the hops. A balanced but delicious blend that creates a beer that is really true to the style.

Richie Holmes is drinking a Hopical Storm by Timothy Taylor's Brewery at Stone
Light hints of grapefruit in the nose, toast and malt up front, hops come in behind but don’t really develop enough.

Earned the Pale as the Moon (Level 69) badge!Richie Holmes is drinking a Pacific Pale Ale by Fourpure Brewing Co at Stone
Quite malty, initially, with grapefruit developing in the mouth, but hops are subdued. But it is disappointing, no wow new world factor, and the lack of carbonation doesn’t help.

Earned the To Go Please (Level 17) badge!Richie Holmes is drinking a Juicier Bomb by Sloop Brewing Co. at Stone
Beautifully hopped, subtly flavour DIPA. Really juicy throughout, so quite sweet, but some spice, cardamom, around the edges, and no booziness. Lingering finish in roof of the mouth keeps you going back for more.

Not too bad, nice malts with hints of caramel.

Richie Holmes is drinking The Hop Foundry - Loose Head by ALDI Stores UK at Stone
Hoppy nose but initially malty in the mouth. Bitter hop notes at the top and beyond, but dry and finish is fairly quick.

Richie Holmes is drinking a Glide by SALT at Stone
Mango notes, quite mellow hops but nice enough.

Possibly got this too cold, subduing the flavours. Hops are ok, there’s some malt. Ok for abv and especially for 95p!

The best imp stout I’ve had in a while. Loads of chocolate, roasted malt, a bit of coffee, and a very slight hint of coconut. No overpowering sweetness, especially at 10%. A fine collab!
