sorted byI think it's a case of real ale usually being a fairly flat beer, served at cellar temperatures. For me, the term 'craft beers' has evolved to describe beers that have come onto the market that sit between lager and real ale - beer that is meant to be served cold, generally fizzy, but with a range of flavours as you'd find with real ale. Being served cold though means they need to have different flavours from real ale, so they're often highly hopped, fruity / citrusy etc. After all, the colder a beer is, the less you can taste. That's why if I fancy a lager on a blazing hot day I'll stick it in the freezer to super-chill for a bit, as even slightly above fridge temperature lager tastes pretty rank to me!
I used to drink it in Wetherspoon's sometimes.
Pretty clean tasting. Perfectly quaffable but not a particularly distinctive flavour.
This stuff (bright colours, 330ml cans, expensive) is aimed at hipsters though so it's probably cheap to them.
Other is Bitter Iron IPA bought three different ones myself this morning, haven't tried them yet.
They do green gecko ipa too, 500ml bottles 5% £1.19, supposed to be ok as well. Again haven't tried as only got them today.
These look good aswell
That's why I didn't buy I'm quite happy with their 500ml bottled Hatherwood ales at £1.19 or so. It's all brewed by Shepherd & Neame
Yeah that stuff is goooood!! especially with todays weather!
I better try this then as love elvis juice !
I bought two - not opened yet !
Green Gecko is great value, I used to buy cases of the stuff and overdid it a bit, so not had any for a while. It's no Brewdog Punk IPA, but it's a damn good drink for the price in my humble opinion.
Sounds good, I'll pick a few up!
There's a third
Don’t get people excited. It’s nothing like elvis juice. I’ve tried all of these and they are drinkable but nowhere near as good as branded ones. Someone else has said they are brewed by Shepherds Neame. I know some but maybe not alll are.They are nowhere near as good asShepherds Neame branded ones such as bishops finger but they are less expensive.
Is "Craft Beer" a term to appeal to the traditional Lager drinkers? Dunno. Choose wisely people.
Shepherd Neame are Britains oldest brewer and produce some great beers. I believe the name "craft beer" was conceived as a marketing ploy in the last 5 - 10 years for overhopped fizz and anyone paying £1.50 or more for a small can or bottle so should have their judgement questioned
Thanks for that, I was hoping these could save me some £s by replacing some of the Brewdogs and other craft beers I like. I'll give the American one a shot though.
Bloody lethal. Nice drink for a lager.
