Thanks Gary, be a shame not to 'pop' in

The Red Lion had Hook Nortons Flagship 5.3% IPA on today. Delightful, could easily have stayed all morning.

The Rawson Spring, Hillsborough
Wolf Sirius Dog Star 4.4%, a dark red ale, fruity with underlying sweetness. Hints of butterscotch and caramel. Very nice.

Sheffield Waterworks
Wadworth Burnt Orange 4.5%, a golden IPA with burnt toffee, caramel and orange flavours. Exceeded expectations.
Orkney Celebration 4.6%, from the same brewery as Dark Island, Red McGregor and Skullsplitter, this doesn't disappoint. Peat smoked malt with caramel. Excellent.

Benjamin Huntsman, Sheffield
Rooster's Twenty Four Seven 4.7%, a pale golden grapefruit flavoured IPA. Not really to my taste.
Castle Rock Wheel of Fortune 4.6%, a dark red malty ale with both grapefruit and toffee flavours. Fortunately for me, the toffee seems to be the more dominant flavour
Brentwood Hope & Glory 4.5%, just a very nice malty best bitter. No more to say.

Twelve Tellers, Preston (last night)
Salopian Hop Twister 4.5%, hoppy and fruity.
Titanic Iron Curtain 6.0%, at the bottom end of the ABV scale for a Russian Imperial Stout. Fruit and some sweetness possibly vanilla, quite bitter. No quite what I hoped for.

The Yarborough Hotel, Grimsby
Evan Evans Hop Picker 4.5%, an amber coloured ale with a malty flavour complimented with berries.
Cotleigh Styrian Wolf 4.4%, a golden bitter with mango and lemongrass amongst the flavourings.
Swannay Orkney Session 3.8%, golden in colour, referred to as a bitter, this was a little disappointing. A floral aroma but too little taste for me.

Doncaster Brewery Tap hoping to have Back the Bid on from this coming Thursday. From Ian's description of the beer it may well suit all palates. https://www.doncasterfreepress.co.uk/ne ... -1-9397767
