Skool night beers


Since it's a bank holiday (and we've walked miles today!) we decided to have a beer or two this evening! So, to kick off here's a new brew from our local brewery (Siren) called "New Favourite Day" it's what's called a "DIPA" or in normal speak a double IPA i.e. a stronger pale ale with additional adjuncts and hops that accentuate flavour (ideally) This one from Siren is delicious, hazy, smooth and full of classic American hop flavours, i.e. grapefruit, citrus etc. those flavours hide a scary 8.5% ABV far too well, it's thick and juicy with a soft mouthfeel. Luckily I have one more can left so I think I'll save it for a week or two, see what a bit of age does to the blend..
