On Friday night I discovered a bag of different beers I’d bought last week from Selfridges that we’d filed away in the cupboard. First up was the Lapin Kulta from Lapland, brewed since 1873. It was a fresh and clean, light tasting lager.

Next up was the Flying Dog brewery’s Snake Dog IPA, very strong and hoppy tasting 7.1% beer – I’m pretty sure I could smell hints of caramel but I’m no beer expert (although I enjoy trying).

Lastly was Chicago’s Goose Island Honker’s Ale, described as an English style bitter, but that wasn’t my first or second thought. It felt much lighter than most bitters I’ve tried, but still tasty.

If anyone wants to send me beers to try, and so I can practice my tasting and reviewing I am open to offers.
