Stuart MacDiarmid: Brett M. Hahahaha! Just because my brain died doesn't mean my gorgeous smile died!
Stuart MacDiarmid is drinking a Fresh Hop 2024 by Sunshine Brewery at Shadow Of Death Hotel
Clear golden, sparkling with millions of tiny bubbles. Exuberant frothy head. A scent of wet dog & freshly picked & washed vegetables. Incisive, resinous bitterness, clean & crisp to delight the gizzard. Remember Anzac Day & Festa della Liberazione!

Stuart MacDiarmid is drinking a Retro Vision Pacific Pale Ale by Heyday Beer Co. at Heyday Beer Co
A sharp macédoine of citrus & tropical fruits, some quite unripe. A faint nuance of cotton dish cloth. But nothing offensive. It may be retro but it's not old fashioned!

Stuart MacDiarmid is drinking a Heineken 0.0 by Heineken at Ennui-sur-Blasé
Don't worry. I won't be checking in the whole slab. But as I sit here savouring my second one of these perfectly acceptable lagers, I am aware of a slight aftertaste. Is that a faint hint of kapi (กะปิ) or belacan? Is that possible?

Stuart MacDiarmid: Andy T. Same thing. Fermented prawn paste used in Thai and Malaysian cooking.
Andy Turpin: Stuart M. Ah! Thanks mate! Every day's a learnin' day! 😊👍🍻
Stuart MacDiarmid: Jeroen next time you have one, study the afdronk ...
Nicholas: Those are strong flavours to have in a beer. Despite the F1 race sponsorship, Heineken 0.0 is not really sold here now, I haven't had it for some time.
Stuart MacDiarmid: Nicholas the flavour is very subtle. Creeps in late. But I like belacan in food, so it's not unpleasant. Just out of place.
Stuart MacDiarmid is drinking a Heineken 0.0 by Heineken at Viva Mexico
Well, this is heartening. Another non-alcoholic that I find tolerable, enjoyable even. A clean & crisp lager that paired well with the Mexican food. I'm glad it's drinkable because I've got a slab on order!

Stuart MacDiarmid is drinking a Woolston Pale Ale by Cassels Brewing Co. at Ennui-sur-Blasé
LCI. It certainly smells better than the Woolston of my youth. Anyone else remember the Davis Gelatine factory? A visit there turned me into a life-long fan of gelatine. Awesome commodity! But we're here for the beer. A buxom, blowsy pale ale. Peppery?
