The start of nine days of leave, long story. Newport, Costa, The John Wallace Linton and then the 151 bus to Rogerstone. It’s Tiny Rebel’s Birthday week. So, I will be spending the rest of the day there.
The Prelude
Rather good selection of Cask Ale in The John Wallace Linton.
Actually £1.69
The review
Duck’s Folly - Goddards - 5.2% ABV. B+ and a bit, big malty and strong. Hints of spice with a long spicy, bitter finish #ale #beer #bier
3.3/5. Great selection of cask in the John Wallace Linton today. Off to the Tiny Rebel Brewery Bar later. Their Birthday week.
And another unique
Nice
The review
New Forest - Flacks - 4.9% ABV. B+ and a bit, should be quite fruity but I’m getting malty and quite spicy. Spicy fruity finish #ale #beer #bier
3.3/5. A half because I want to be in time for my bus. Just as well as I just finished off the case. Spoons are great in the morning.
Some oddness with the bus time and I was at Tiny Rebel’s Brewery Bar five minutes early.
Grey February
Someone had my normal seat, so I ended up one table further back. Onto the Ales (all Keg)
4.7% ABV.
The review
Ruby Red - Tiny Rebel - 4.7% ABV. B+ and a bit and a touch. Citrus and Grapefruit all the way. Fruity, citrus, bitter finish. Light and refreshing #ale #beer #bier
3.4/5. I know Keg but still a quality brew. Would be much better in the Summer but it’s still bleak mid Winter in the Valleys.
6.5% ABV
The review
Love Parade - Tiny Rebel - 6.5% ABV. B++, hazy, hoppy, stone fruits with hints of spice. Fruity with gentle bitterness in the finish #ale #beer #bier
3.5/5. Not what I’d call a NEIPA but still good. Keg and refreshing. The alcohol is well hidden. Going on me #TinyBirthday
