I like a good table beer, and this one is alright. Good head, nice balance of citrus, malt, yeast - with a little sweet aftertaste. Very fine carbonation.
Not really remarkable, but definitely drinkable.

Beer Advent 2017 - December 6th - Sanguinello
North Brewing/Uiltje - Sanguinello
Collab brew with a Dutch brewer, nice bottle art. Mandarin and blood orange session ale.
Really fruity and full flavoured beer, surprisingly full bodied for a session strength abv. A little heavy on carbonation, otherwise very decent.
Would drink again. And again...

Beer Advent 2017 - December 4th - Peanut butter!?
Tailgate - Peanut Butter Milk Stout
Three things made me pick this beer up. I like stout, I particularly like milk stout, and I like peanut butter.
Pitch black with a head that dissipated completely, and quickly. Smells wrong. Sweet and nutty mixed with...well I'm not sure. Cheese? It doesn't smell good to me.
It doesn't taste that nice either. There's something in the flavour combination that just doesn't work. I can't really describe it.
Blearghhh.
Side note - I may have been ambitious in expecting three great flavours to come together to make a great drink, but the other week someone introduced me to hot banana ketchup and that worked out just fine.

Beer Advent 2017 - December 3rd - Hello My Name is Niamh
Brewdog - Hello My Name is Niamh
Fun to pronounce if you're not Irish. Niamh (Neave) is a double IPA brewed with Elderflower.
Fairly standard Brewdog double IPA look and feel, with a little bit of a floral smell, I wouldn't have noticed if I wasn't looking for it, though.
Flowery sweetness holds the bitterness back a little bit, which I think improves it.
Nice brew.

Beer Advent 2017 - December 2nd - Wanderlust
6 Degrees North - Wanderlust
Wasn't too sure about this when I opened it - huge hit of yeast and lime was a bit too much. Poured really well though and just looks like hazy sunshine to me.
Pretty sweet flavour with a strong zesty flavour - no real bitterness with a nice sweet aftertaste. Haven't had much wheat beer this year (which may have made changed my perspective a bit), and this one was good.
Nice.

Beer Advent 2017 - December 1st - Hello My Name is Maria
Brewdog - Hello My Name is Maria
If you're not a fan of Brewdog, then this year's calendar will disappoint you on 9 occasions. I picked up the 9-pack of Hello My Name is...since I'd only ever tried a few and enjoyed them.
Hello My Name is Maria is a double IPA (as they all are), brewed with mandarin. Pretty light feeling drink - I want to say thin, but it sounds absurd when I think about it - and so is more drinkable than it should be.
Smells of malt and orange. Zesty flavours with hints of mandarin. Pretty strong alcohol/bitter finish.
Alright, like.
