Pump Action Poet & Summer Love Beers
It's summer and what goes best with summer? Awesome beers, unusual beers!!
What a collection I have gotten a hold of this week. Some splendid designs which hopefully the contents can live up to! I am feeling a tad delicate today so let us get started, in Scotland we call getting back on the wagon a curer!
First up is,
A fine looking can no? If it was down to name alone then this would surely win. It claims to be a stonefruit IPA. I don't even know what a stonefruit is!
Tis a fine looking beer, loses it's fizz a little quickly. The taste is very malty. I detect no hints of fruit at all, stone or otherwise. It's a little tart actually. I am not wholly convinced that I could drink many of these. It is passable but no more than that. Hmm, next please!
Not only does the name bring forth a smile but the beer does too. Easy drinking and golden this would be one it would be easy to forget your woes with in the sun. A really pleasant taste with a lingering finish. Yum.
You could find yourself getting quite mad with it as they say here after an afternoon slurping these down!
Look at the can!! I think Beavertown have some of the best designs out there. Makes me keen to try it!
Good grief though, I just noticed its strength is 8%. Yikes.
It pours well with a good head. Goodness me but it's strong. It is definitely one of those rare beers that is good strong though. A cool earthy flavour and one which you can really savour. Which is good because you wouldn't want to be chugging these down at that strength at a rate of knots!
Feeling dizzy? Let's move on to...
Perhaps the plainest of the cans but never judge a book by it's cover!
And how right that saying is. This is a great beer, strong in taste but with a slightly fruity finish. I am sure I am getting a little mango from it. Aw it's a lovely one and no mistake. After thinking again how strong it tasted I checked the label. 6.4% yeek!
And that rounds this week up. Cor, given that two of the beers are as strong as heck and I always buy double so I can get a proper taste I think I might end up tearing the roof aff the place
What roof I don't even know but I will alert you all when I do!!
Cheers everyone! Have a good weekend!!
Nice review. Usually I do not come further than Heineken or Jupiler and now and then a La Chouffe. But then: beers in the Netherlands and Belgium are top of the end anyways :-)
Take a Budweiser after one of these and you wonder who hosed extra water in your beer ("evenementenbier in Dutch :-))
You are right on the Netherlands and Belgium beers!! Hard to top!!
no bearded fellows this time?
None but I did spy a beardy one for next time. Or rather the time after net time because I go on holiday this week and might have to skip this saturday!
shhhh
don't post it here
hahah
but anyway - have a safe and fun one!
You know me, always safe! :O)
Those are really some unusual beers but all with a nice and different can design 😀 Those are definitely not the mainstream beers, what I like a lot 😊 I'd actually just like to taste them right now 😁
The same here @starflyer-9000 guess you read my mind...love them all beers...Thirsty!!!!!!!
Haha 😂 I think there's just something we have in common whenever we see a beer 😉 I think I've got to get one tomorrow again. You guys just made me gravin for one right now 😃
Amen to that. Pls remember me in your mind when you enjoy the good cold beer...great guy. Greetings to @meesterboom another beer lover...good guy too. Lets drink steemit to more success!!! Fired up and ready to go!!!
That would be a great thing, drinking steemit to more success 😂
Amen to that!! Fired up and ready to go!!!!
I do like to seek out new and interesting ones. The design always catches my eye and mostly they deliver! Its a very nice night to try them all!
Go for it 😉 But you should definitely keep us informed on the taste of them. I really like to know whether those are as well delivering what they promise on the outside.
I absolutely will. For me it is quite the challenge too when Isee them to see if they match up to the promise!
I'm curious on the result 😉
The Summer Love and Shapeshifter appear to be the winners. I think I'd likely sit back with some Summer Luvin, personally. Thanks for the share.
The summer love definer is a cracker! I am torn between the two!
Sounds like the Summer Love would be a good fit for me. I always love these weekend roundups!
Summer love was a winner for me!! :0)
Yeah one or two of those 8% beers and its nap time for me lol.
Yeah, it always scares me when I see the strength like that!!
Well, it looks like YOU are going to have a good weekend lol
Enjoy!
@shayne
I suspect you are right!
Cheers mate! :O)
Thanks never heard of any of these before but love the designs! Wish more products had this kind of art on it.
So do I!! Companies that make stuff have to get more creative!!!!
This post was awesome! It is funny how the coolest looking can, the top one didn't match the taste wile the last one seemed to be one of the best with the simple can.
I am really thirsty now after reading this. Thank for writing this up and you seem to have a great sense of humor. You picked up a new follower. Now I just need to find a place to get some Summer Love. lol
Cheers to you as well.
I was quite surprised myself. The Brewdog brand generally makes some incredible beers and whilst it was not bad it just didnt live up to the extraordinary appeal of the can. Which was a shame as it was such a cool design!
Thank you for reading!! :O)
No problem, great post. I'll read more too.
The last can does remind me of an old cover to the Clive Cussler novel Shock Wave. lol, great book if you have not read it. Have a great day.
I will go and hunt it out to see the cover at least! Cheers mate!
I AM A FAN OF BEER POSTS!
Me too!!! ;0)
Cheers man!!
cheers
Cheers!!
My beer botles are all empty... 😭
But after reading this post I need them more then ever!
Lol, I have a fair stack of empties but plenty more full! Weeee!
You go get 'em!
Raaar!!
