Magic Rock – High Wire Grapefruit Pale Ale
Magic Rock – Salty Kiss Gooseberry Gose
Holgate Brewing – Hop Tart Semi-Sour Pale Ale
Two canned beers from a UK Craft brewery, not something I see or drink often. Both interesting beers/styles with some interesting ingredients.
The High Wire Grapefruit Pale Ale was nice and had a good grapefruit bitterness, sitting well with the hop bitterness. The Salty Kiss Gooseberry Gose had a nice [goose]berry tartness along with the saltyness, It also contained Sea Buckthorne – which are a berry that tastes “astringent, sour”, and I think I can notice such a taste and it not being the gooseberries, but its hard to say having never tasted Sea Buckthorne.Both good beer, sessionable, refreshing and interesting.
The Hop Tart was also nice, and another sour pale ale – a good combination, I like sour appearing more. Very enjoyable with a nice big bitter and sour hit. Im not sure how many beers I have had from Holgate in the past but this was both tasty and, again, and interesting beer, so I will keep an eye on that name.
Also at the IBS were Hostess Twinkies. I purchased one and my review walking home eating it was:
