Today sucked. For no particular reason. I am a bit of a moody prick sometimes...I'll not assume I've the hubris for attempting to explain it, or that I care enough to.
Beer!
Everards - Tiger
Todays beer is my ideal 'best bitter'. It doesn't even belong in this decade. It's another one of those "once a year" beers I generally only pick up for the calendar. I really ought drink it more often as that's the sort of beer it is.
Looks - Like the sort of beer I can imagine in a working mans club in the early 80's. Really nice copper/chestnut shade. Great head. (teehee)
Smells - A little sour, there's no hops going on. Quite a sharp malt smell.
Taste - Very basic, in a good way. It doesn't dance around much, it's got some well balanced bitterness and malt flavours but nothing hangs around very long - which makes me want more of it.
I'd really like to rate this beer higher, but I can't. I'm definitely coming up with a new scoring system for next year.
8/10
I wrote this blog whilst listening to a compilation of John Lee Hooker, Howlin' Wolf and Muddy Waters. Because I'll never get out of these blues alive, y'all.
