A Fine post Christmas Ale at a Fine Price
The review
Citra - Oakham Ales - 4.2% ABV. B+ and a bit and a bit. Superior Citra Ale. Really works #ale #beer #bier
3.4/5. Post Boxing Day Beanoing. Nice and Toasty in The John Wallace Linton #Newport Filling my Boots at £1.69 a Pint.
Christmas is a time for improving your Untappd stats, so why not try a can of Guinness 0.0?

The review
Guinness Draught 0.0 - 0.05% ABV. B+ and a bit, not bad. One of the best non alcoholics I have tried. The only issue is it rather watery #ale #beer #bier
Then over to the Carpenters.
Was open.
Sometimes they have new Ales on but it’s the only place in Newport so continually have Tiny Rebel on Tap.
Keg not Cask
The review
Electric Boogaloo - Tiny Rebel - 4.5% ABV. B++, maybe I’m getting too old but this is a touch too sweet. Still very fruity and drinkable #ale #beer #bier
Chips in The Harbour Fish Bar, see the video later and then on to The Pen and Wig.
From the Vale not Llantrisant
The review
Santa’s Little Helper - Tomos and Lilford - 4.8% ABV. B+ and a bit, malty, slightly fruity with a dry bitter finish. Decent #ale #beer #bier
3.3/5. Very cold out but nice and warm in The Pen and Wig #Newport. Still rather festive too. If only I could jump on the WiFi.
I wandered off as it was cold and misty. Played around with video of the day, see below.
