Moodmusic: Sunny, sunny Saturday with late summer mellowness thinking about people in their season and time
Today's memories and soundbites
This blog entry is a little late reaching the airwaves. Tried using my portable technology to send it out but alas, no joy, needed my laptop. Not too many memories since I spent the Saturday alone and the Sunday on the Peaks side of Manchester getting a little lost!
Drinks
Location: Prince of Wales, Shrewsbury
This is an interesting place! Close to the Sutton Bridge railway junction and signal box (a well known hand pulled lever operated set) and where the Traction Maintenance Department at Coleham Depot still exists. The pub sits in a Victorian railwayman suburb, but, the pub garden is a bowling green along which sits an amazing maltings.
1. Salopian, Golden Thread (5.0%)
Reactions
Emotional: Mmmm ..... yummy a fine local brew
Critical: A great clear golden ale colour. I like the appley, lemony, citrus that comes through strong. But the hops are bitter, so the aftertaste dominated by clean bitter tang. Not bad.
Location: Little Mill Inn, Marple Bridge
Also interesting! A pub in the middle of nowhere which makes you wonder what the history is.
2. Jennings, Sneck Lifter (5.1%)
Reactions
Emotional: Not bad.
Critical: The colour is red chestnut. Hoppy, creamy and sweetish with slight coffee and then mild bitterness. Could so easily be a session beer!
3. Jennings, Joggers Tipple (4.2%)
Reactions
Emotional: Hurumph ... maybe, maybe not
Critical: My second time of trying this. Its really bitter, bitter. Its a clean bitterness but maybe a bit too much for me. Its a good quality but basic bitter with some metallic notes.
