Probably my favourite ale, or at least one that I can drink a lot of.
She advised me to try old crafty hen and I had to admit I'd never heard of it but she directed me to the Greene King website and I'll be getting a few soon
I have never heard of that, but thanks for the tip! Not available in stores here though, guess internet is the only way. Let us hear what you think about it if you try it out :)Quote:

its hard to describe how it tastes, maybe a tasty Lager could be a good comparison.
Kölsch is served in a special kind of glass, called the "Kölsch Flute" with 0,2l Volume, in Germany there is a myth that Kölsch glasses empty much faster as any other beer glasses because of the slim Design, but its only a myth, most german beer glasses (especially Pilsener Glasses) have a Volume of 0,2l, but Pilsener isnt so quaffable and drinking it is slower in mst times :-)

Tonight I'm enjoying a new offering from Shock Top -- Honey Bourbon Cask Wheat.
From their Web site:
"Shock Top’s newest edition is Honey Bourbon Cask Wheat. This Belgian-Style unfiltered wheat ale is brewed with honey, caramel malt, and aged on bourbon cask staves for the perfect balance of flavor and refreshment all year round."
This stuff is really good. Dunno if I'd want to drink it every day, but boy what a pleasant surprise it was! :beer2:
