Pretty in Pink


Another pleasant sunny (ish) evening spent at the Siren Tap-yard yesterday, we played some cards, had a good old family catch-up and I tried one of their new beers. "The Sky was Pink" is a collaboration with DEYA brewing company based down in Cheltenham and is a rather splendid pink/orange colour due to the Hibiscus flowers put into the boil. In addition, the beer has a ton of Citra, Mandarina Bavaria & Hallertau Blanc hops lending a really nice orange/tangerine kind of vibe. At 6.4% ABV it's certainly not a session beer and one 2/3-pint was all that was needed to hit the perfect spot after a busy week. Today, rain is the main feature of the day, the plants seem to be heaving a collective sigh of relief, even the grass looks green for a change.
