Beer in the Evening

Purchase Location: Wetherspoons “Moon Under Water” – Cheltenham
(Part of the Wetherspoons Real Ale Festival.)

Clark Rams Revenge has got a comical character this season, the sign on the pump is staring at me agressively and this is why I have picked it as the first beer for the night. 

Rams Revenge pours a deep dark caramel colour, with an impressive head that has receded from the bar to the table.  The aroma is lightly malty, with a first taste that is really quite sour and acidic.  However for the rest of the pint it’s quite refreshing with a flowery taste that spans the rest of the pint.  There’s some lacing down the sides of the pint, this is all gone by two thirds down and it’s looking like quite flat leftovers. 

Not a great session beer for me with it’s moderate ABV and sourness, I drank this outside in mid November with a cold snap in full force, Rams Revenge is certainly a pint that I would like to try during a hot summer evening, with it’s immediate refreshing qualities it would be best served late July in Cheltenham’s huge beer garden. 

My Rating: 5/10

Hops used: Cascade, Fuggles
ABV: 4.6%
