Futuristic IPA

Tried one of these last weekend, it's one of the three celebration beers made by Siren for their 12th birthday (hence the logo on the can). Called "Persistence of time" it's an IPA made with some rather futuristic ingredients. Firstly the hops are all experimental varietals including Incognito®, Super Sauvin®, Cryo®, Dynaboost® and Hyperboost® it also contains "cannabis Terpenes" which are the chemical aroma and flavour elements (essential oils) of the cannabis plant. It was interesting to see if I could pick out the flavours but since hops are very closely related to cannabis anyway, and often very similar in flavour profile I couldn't honestly say that I detected anything particularly different. This beer is exceptionally "dank" (i.e. weedy) though, which people often say is typical of cannabis, anyway, certainly a futuristic IPA

Rainbow Boozer

Walking into town late last Sunday evening we noticed this rather odd rainbow effect on the side of a chimney stack on top of a local pub. It wasn't obvious what was casting the colours but the sun was very intense and there are a bunch of road signs (with reflective backgrounds) on the junction below, possibly the cause of this rather attractive lighting effect, either that or God is sending me a message telling me to drink more beer in this boozer, I think I should obey such a "sign", don't you?

Better than the original

Tried one of these at the weekend, one of Siren's 11th birthday celebration beers it's a spin on their house IPA "Lumina" except it's a lot hazier and also at 5.4% a bigger mouthfeel and a little richer and deeper in taste profile, I like it, better than the original IMO.
