Beer in the Evening

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

Like a  spinning dog, that’s how I felt, Muttley certainly did take revenge on my stomach after three pints of this, perhaps it’s the strong citrus acidic aftertaste that makes this beer feel like you’re drinking a pint of serious home brew.
If strong flavours is your thing, then do seek this one out. It might be an average ABV but it packs a real bite. I got a rather heavy chest and slight sway during this session of Muttleys. I have to say I wasn’t really a big fan, but as there is no such thing as a bad beer (unless it’s been contaminated or over chilled) I thought I would persist with a small session with this one to try and change my mind.

It’s got to be another one for spring/ summer, the citrus is so refreshing it’s going to make an excellent ‘after hard days work’ beer. There is a flowery hoppy background that soothes the taste buds, and an absence of head but a feeling that there is still plenty of carbonation left in the mix.

My rating: 6/10
Hops used: Challenger, Target
