Fourth in the series is 13 Guns. This craft beer celebrates the original 13 states and won gold in something or other and was alright. It was more hoppy than malty, if that makes any sense.....Quite a light fruity taste with medium fizz. Not that light & fruity is my thing but a strong 7 nevertheless.

Perhaps, but they were all bought in previously so there we go. Tis what it is....a social drinker trying out some new stuff. My mate suggested trying 'Bishop's finger'....I'll give it a sniff...even though it sounds a bit like something all good Catholics should be trying to avoid.

Bishops finger is a fine old ale from Shepherd Neame. Woodeforde’s is also an excellent Norfolk brewery...

Used to call beers like that an ‘old’ Of those types of beer it is indeed a fine example Edited by Mapletree (26 Dec 2018 10.41pm)

I'm not much of a drinker.....more a social one. I tend to gravitate towards the most common stuff like Budweisers. So I thought why not branch out a little as well and have a little festive fun whilst doing it. So today marks the start of an nine day series where I rate nine reasonably well known beers and ales. Today kicks off the first but I'll play it safe and sample probably the most famous and internationally known aforementioned Budweiser......the tastes I got from this were fizzy, malty and hoppy....quite inoffensive. A 7 out of 10.

Are you sure you've never modelled Stirling? You pictures show a lot of potential mate.
