Nostalgia - Dark Reef robust porter

 First of the dark beers from the @beer52hq mixed box, Nostalgia brewery - Dark reef robust porter, 3.8% for a "low" strength porter it's not bad, it's ok, nothing special, went to cancel subscription but got good offer on another box, so ordered, but not renewed again

Vocation Brewery Life & Death IPA

 

Opened the Vocation Brewery vs. Serious Pig box. Great start, snacking cheese is crisp and tasty, and the Life & Death classic IPA at 6.5% is as it says, classic IPA, tasty, full bodied, refreshing. https://seriouspig.co.uk/ https://www.vocationbrewery.com/

Jump Brewing Pale Ale

 

3rd and best so far from @beer52hq box, @jumpbrewing pale ale, 4.5% , as it says clean and crisp, not as fruity as the text says, but that's fine by me, subtle rather than in your face.

Tropical Unicorn Session IPA

 

2nd @beer52hq beer box, @badnewsbeercompany tropical unicorn session IPA, 4.1%, again not really my thing, as it says it is easy drinking, but doesn't really have much flavour, which for a summer fruit beer is actually good for me, but just seems bland

Northern Monk X Timothy Taylor's Northern Rising

 

@northernmonk collab with @timothytaylorsbrewery unity nitro stout, 4.4%, have to get this direct from NM or in Morrisons. Nothing outstanding, but quite nice, rich and smooth, creamy.

Buro Pale Ale

 

First beer from my mixed light and dark trial @beer52hq box. It's ok, only 3.4% Buro pale ale, has that "soapy" taste which puts me off pale and session ales.

Holy Goat Foehammer Imperial Stout

 @holygoatbrewing Foehammer imperial stout 2024 edition. Wow, this is excellent, ticks all the right boxes(but at this price should do). It's smooth, rich, creamy, full of flavour, smokey, pretty much perfect. 11.2% though, hence the hefty price tag, but worth it. One is enough! https://holygoat.beer/
