So onto the Fine Ales.

The review
Rutterkin - Brewster’s - 5.0% ABV. B+ and a bit, light with sweet malt to start with a grapefruity body. Citrus bitter finish #ale #beer #bier
3.3/5. Strangely stronger than its last outing but still a little thin. Lingering finish. A good sunny weather brew. Malcolm Uphill, Caerphilly.
And now the new national special.

The review
Jaipur - Thornbridge - 5.9% ABV. B++ and a touch. A classic in wonderful condition. Hoppy and very citrusy with a strong citrus, bitter finish #ale #beer #bier
3.6/5. Spoons going for a classic and at £2.29 a Pint you can’t go wrong. However at 5.9% it’s one to take your time over and savour.
A sipper, then moving on to The Project.
