Abbaye de Vauclair, All of these beers are from De Gayant, I have not covered them before, well not together so I thought it was about time.

I've not had the pleasure of any beers from Abbaye de Vauclair yet Ralph, but will certainly try them if I see them in September time.

I was gifted 4 x large bottles of Leffe, by my lovely wife. I chose 2 x Brune, 1 x Blonde, and 1 x Nectar.

The Nectar was new to me, and so I tried it out.

Now then, I am quite partial to a Youngs Waggledance (now Charles Wells), as it has a subtle sweetness for me.


I found the Leffe Nectar to be far far too sweet, and if consumed at a temperature lower than chilled, I wouldn't have liked it one bit. I'll even go as far as to say it was sickly sweet, however, I managed to down the lot.

The Brune and Blonde I've had many times before, so it's pointless me commenting on those.

Cheers,

Jock.

I have been trying out Timmy Taylor Boltmaker at the minute, a nice drop of stuff, I don,t seem to like many of the strong ones around.

Who has Paul, you or Caroline? Rita and I hope that you are both well.

That's not one I have come across before either.

Cheers,

went for bar meal yesterday, black sheep, doom bar, and an IPA all hand pulled, I was driving

 

[BobtheBass]

Anyone tried Wadworths Swordfish? It's 6X with a dribble of Pussers rum added, 5.1 proof. Jury's out for me as it was a little sweet but Sue tried it (she isn't a beer drinker) and said you know what, I could drink that!

Favourite of all time is Smithwicks ale, but I had some a few weeks ago and I think they have messed with the recipe.

 

[Chas17]

Just found this at the back of the fridge - a unique blend of 6X & Pussers Rum. So I decided to declare "Beer O'Clock" and put it out of its misery.

What a coincidence. I hadn't seen your post when I posted. Agree a bit sweet but I like it. Halfway through now.

Sorry, that should have read..........

I've just had one of these, whilst preparing our evening meal.

I haven't seen these at the smaller of the Lidl stores, only the larger ones, @ 4 x for £4.99

It is not unlike Leffe Blonde, but certainly not as nice, nor as smooth.

They had other Belgian Beers in the same store, @ £4.99 - £5.99 for x 4.

Cheers,

Jock.

Yes Bob, our local landlord gets it in now and then. It's quite popular. I like it too.

That's a handy little table Howard.

The Hobgoblin Gold, is the only one I am familiar with from that photo, and very refreshing it is too.

I'm currently on a bottle of Ancient Plooky Bird.

Hi Jock, me, Paul, hope both yourself and Rita are doing good.

The Timmy Taylor Boltmaker is a lovely drop of stuff. We were in a pub a few weeks ago and I thought Christmas had come, they only had it on draft. Guest what, it was bloody awful, the bottles were much nicer. It just shows you, any beer is only as good as the landlords cellar keeping.

Paul.

Very true Paul, which is why I stopped using a particular pub close to us, which kept one of my favourite beers, Crazy Daze, from the Pot Belly Brewery. The landlord just wouldn't accept that he wasn't keeping his beer properly The pub which is in a lovely location, and was once a gold mine, is now always empty.

Cheers,

Jock.

Never in my life Ian, have I ever managed 9 x pints. After only 3 x pints, I'm at the urinals every 20 x mins, so I'd be up and down all night, and never get any sleep.

Cheers,

Jock.

I was reading a report yesterday regarding keeping pipes clean, 40% of pubs didn't do once a week, once a week is a minimum requirement. Unfortunately pubs in the south was the worst. I have a friend who is a landlord, he does them twice a week, the pub is very popular with drinkers, I have never had a bad pint in that pub. Mmmmmm

My popular landlord cleans the lines every time a cask is changed, even if it's the same ale coming on.
Wetherspoons do the same, and I know that many rubbish their pubs, but TBH, I've never had a bad pint in a Spoons. Too cold for a real ale maybe, but never a bad pint.

Cheers,

Jock.

 

[JockandRita]

@dodfloss. One of my all time favourite pubs, is up your way, ie, The White Horse, AKA Nellie's Bar.
It is so full of character, and dispenses a good pint of Old Brewery Bitter.

For those who don't know it...........https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Attra...everley_East_Riding_of_Yorkshire_England.html

Cheers,

Aye, been there many a time Danny. Fortunately, I can now remember my way to the toilet and back, as there are that many nooks and crannies in the pub.
I like that big mirror in the main bar, ie, the one where all the silver backing has peeled off and shriveled up.

Cheers,

Jock.

 

[dodfloss]

It's a gem of a pub, real drinkers and characters. Cheers Danny

Last week we had a few days in Thirsk and a few beers in Wetherspoons there, usually when I am in a Spoons I have one new beer, then switch onto something I like, unless the new one is good.
