    Corca Dhuibhne Golden Ale. It's golden, cloudy and very, very sour. I love it!

    Got a couple of Smithwicks Pale Ales hanging out at the back of my fridge, Sunday night with a curry. Cannot wait!

    A Ruthless Rye IPA from Sierra Nevada. Very enjoyable..
    Also had a few O'Haras pale ale in the local.

    Rinkuškiai Exclusive 15%

    A fairly potent Doppelbock that's surprisingly drinkable for its ridiculously high abv. I like this.

    Mix it with a 2 litre bottle of Ballygowan and you'd be sorted for the night! :D

    Lagunitas Imperial Red Ale, this was one to let warm up as the flavours came out. As much as it improved, I found it blanded out slightly after a while. For a beer close to 8% it was very easy to drink.
    I also had their Maximus IPA again during the week. Lovely beer, I defintely felt that ones strength. Especially with a 22 oz bottle, I felt like a nap afterwards.

    Bit dull tonight got a 5 for E10 Weiss / Red Franciscan well mix.

    Hadn't tried a Mine Head from Dungarvan before so threw that in as well. Think it is quite a nice effort at an APA which probably my most favouite style, definately see myself picking up more of it in the future.

    Drinking an Oakham Citra. As you may gather from the name it's a single hop citra pale ale. Light to medium bodied, very easy to drink at 4.6%. Not mega hopped like an american pale ale but still let's the flavour of the Citra shine through very well. A very enjoyable beer!

    Started off with a Dungarvan Mine Head - not bad.
    Then had a Kinnegar Limeburner - not impressed at all, very bland.
    Now having an Of Foam and Fury. No description required.

    Thornbridge sequoia, then twin peaks.

    The sequoia amber was quite nice, not the most amber if that makes sense.

    Twin peaks nothing to write home about at all, the finish was very thin

    Picked up two Haandbryggeriet beers at the Oslo airport - Humlekanon was an excellent IPA with tons of hops and nice malts too. But the star of the pick was Norwegian Wood - a smoked beer with juniper berries. The smokiness was far from cloying and mixed incredibly with the almost tart arome of the juniper. The result was absolutely beautiful and unparalleled. It almost tasted like a brett beer without the medicinal tones. Unique and very complex...now I need more but I've only seen it in that one place...

    Was at home today so picked up a few Wexford brews (well they say they're from Wexford, hopefully people won't correct me that they're brewed elsewhere)

    Blackstairs Brewing - a ruby pale ale apparently

    And I picked up a porter and pale ale from a crowd called Jack Doyle's. I'll probably only have the Blackstairs tonight

    Black's KPA dry hopped with topaz in the cask is pretty amazing in Bierhaus, Cork.
    And at €3 a pint for Beoir members it's unbeatable.

    The Blackstairs was ok if pricey to my untrained taste. May well try again.

    The Jack Doyle's was piss poor, especially the pale ale. Poured like a can of Dutch Gold and only barely tasted better.

    I tried 2/3 different beers out of the Kinnegar range a couple of weeks ago, can't remember the exact names but found the same thing with them all really, quite bland and a bit watery.

    Mikkeller 1000 IBU

    Think I'll need to stay off the beer for a while after this one as there'd be no point in trying to taste anything else after this has stripped my taste buds down to their bare nerves.

    God this is bitter!

    new Belgium's Summer Helles, lovely easy drinking beer. I got a citrusy taste from it with a Pilsnery type finish that reminded me of Sierra Nevada Summerfest.
    Sierra Nevada Flipside IPA, not crazy about it. It reminded me of another red ale I gad a while back.
    Lagunits Lil Sumpin Sumpin Extra. This is a special release of their Lil Sumpin Sumpin Wheat Ale which is great, the extra is also excellent but with a more malty tase (it's a DIPA).

    I laid my hands on InishmacSaint at the weekend and had them last night. It wasn't too bad as a mid way session beer. Ample taste in it yet it wasn't too powerful to make off putting and it was fairly lively from the bottle. I've had better than it but I've had far worse; it's one to buy and let sit a while before drinking as it can take a bit of conditioning.

    Williams Joker I.P.A - Borning and weak flavoured.

    Kinnegar Scraggy Bay IPA. Not a great IPA. Nice bitterness with nothing nice coming through with it. Not bad or anything, though.

    Had a Brown Paper Bag Project Vlad the Baker earlier in the week, it was fine but just a decent lager.

    Having a BPB Shmoake now. Quite strange and unfortunately not in a good way, Sour and lemony but with a hint of salt and smoke. Very light body and just doesn't work for me

    8 degrees, Simcoe Rye Ale. Excellent. That is all.
