Moodmusic: Thoughtful reflection on a sunny day
Today's memories and soundbites
It was a lazy sunny summer weekend again. Got a good walk in on Saturday. No tasty sound bites really apart from one from a fisherman and his mate on the banks of the Dee, he took his mobile phone out to show me a picture of a salmon caught on this water recently. "Oh" said his mate "Your'e not showing her that picture again are you, does it get bigger each time you take it out?" whereapon the assembled company collapsed in fits of laughter. ......
Drinks
Bridge End Inn Ruabon
CAMRA pub of the year 2011.
Spitting Feathers, Honey Trap (4.1%)
Apparently this pale amber beer is brewed using honey from the brewery's own bees.
Reactions
Emotional: Very, very interesting - something to savour
Critical: Golden amber with smooth head. Yeasty grassy aroma. Full and rounded flavour with very strong tones of grassy, hay and silage, slight hint of roast parsnips with a clean abrupt finish.
Merlin, Merlins Gold (3.8%)
Reactions
Emotional: Woooow ...... bitter bitter ......
Critical: Light and floral aroma and on first taste, plenty of top notes, followed by metallic grapefruit sort of long bitter finish.
