premium harrisoni 6830:6	Originally posted by haddonsman Keen to try the Grumpys but hearing really mixed reviews. Is that because too many are expecting a Spoons international beer in the mould of Stone Californian IPA? I was hoping for a decent APA, but got an average one instead.	11/3/2009 12:49:26 AM Post a reply Private message

I found the hops rather muddled - the blend didn’t work for me. And the malt base was rather indifferent. It was a drinkable beer, but less than average.	11/3/2009 12:56:35 AM Post a reply Private message
premium SilkTork 4183:58	Originally posted by sm89walt Both the Purkmistr & the Black Panther were more than acceptable. That Black Panther is a damn good beer. Smokey!	11/3/2009 1:00:05 AM Post a reply Private message
Magicdave6 5551:50	Had the Adnams pale champion ale last night and was very impressed, infact i went back later and got a pint of it. The supernova was alright also.	11/3/2009 1:07:23 AM Post a reply Private message

The supernova was alright also. Yeah the Adnams I thought was a very good Burtonised light bitter with enough flavour to make you want another. Supernova beer of the festival so far.	11/3/2009 2:21:41 AM Post a reply Private message

Is the Port Shepherd Neame Grumpy Pale Ale on the site yet, or because of the new way of adding contract brews, can no one work out/is brave enough to add it???	11/3/2009 2:26:02 AM Post a reply Private message
premium harrisoni 6830:6	OK added it, and it wasn’t as bad as I was expecting, it’s all pretty obvious/intuitive.	11/3/2009 2:39:09 AM Post a reply Private message

Iv corrected it Ian, you had just added the brewer/brewery the wrong way around.	11/3/2009 2:46:26 AM Post a reply Private message
premium harrisoni 6830:6	Is the Weston’s Marcle Farmer Henry Perry a rebadge of this?? http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/westons-original-perry/21170/ Descriptions seem similar to what I had last night and the ABV is the same.	11/3/2009 2:49:33 AM Post a reply Private message
