Is that Trooper the Iron Maiden beer? I would never have called that "golden". Nice drop though.

There's all sorts of versions of Trooper,but yes, it's a bitter, but people don't like calling bitter, bitter any more.

Sorry been away yes the trooper is an Iron maiden beer. Very good traditional bitter. I think OS is right it’s a marketing thing rather than an accurate description
112 Evil elf from Rudgate. Described as a biscuit ale. Very pale. Not at all bad
113 Newtons drop from zest brewery. A classic bitter
114 Green and Gold from Titsey brewery. A lovely beer the pub got in for a Camra event. Only brewed one day each year with hops freshly picked from a neighbouring farm.

There have been work events and football recently, so time for a recap:
No/Lo
25. (bottle) San Miguel 0.0 (0.0%). I was surprised this wasn't already on my list from my Spanish holiday, but I only had the apple version.
26. (bottle) Freestar Prime Time Lager (0.5%)
27. (bottle) Erdinger Alkoholfrei Grapefruit (0.3%). A little heavy on the grapefruit, I won't be buying this one again.
28. (bottle) Stella Artois Alchohol Free (0.0%)
Cans
26. (can) McEwans Export (4.5%)
27. (can) Arbor Ales Talus in Wonderland (4.8%)
28. (can) Tiny Rebel Easy Livin' Pale (4.3%)
29. (can) Beavertown Bloody Ell IPA (5.5%)
30. (can) Bristol Beer Factory Laser Juice (4.2%)
Bottles
45. (bottle) Paulaner Hefe-Weissbier (5.5%). I was even more surprised this wasn't on my list already as I distinctly remember having a couple of glasses earlier in the year, but that was on draught, and after I'd stopped counting having reached 50 of those.

No idea where I am as I never updated after my summer holiday down south.
Recently though -
Hemsley Brewery, Yorkshire Legend (bit too dark for me, but not horrible)
Brixton, presumably an IPA, citrus, nice.
Camden Hells lager! Surprisingly ok.

Good point, time for a re-cap soon, I had a very odd beer the other day, claimed it was made with Salt, it couldn't be, salt kills yeast, but there it was in the ingredient list. Could I taste salt, could I f%&*!

I had a productive trip to Boston recently...
No/Lo
29. (can) Athletic Brewing Free Wave (<0.5%). Hazy IPA.
30. (can) Athletic Brewing All Out (<0.5%). Stout.
I've seen Athletic Brewing cans in TK Maxx in the UK, and these ones confirm that they're good. They were being handed out after a 5k in Cambridge MA and there were at least six different varieties.
Cans
31. (can) Sweet Water H.A.Z.Y. IPA (6.2%). Brewed to taste great at 35,000 feet, apparently - a Delta Airlines exclusive.
32. (can) New Belgium Fat Tire Amber Ale (5.2%).
33. (can) Kozel Černý Dark Lager (3.8%).
34. (can) Harpoon Rec. League (4.0%). Tagged "the cooldown companion" and stressing its low calories, are they suggesting this is suitable for sport?
35. (can) Allagash White (5.2%). I enjoyed this one.
36. (can) 7th Wave Lunar Sunrise (6.8%). A stupid (NEIPA) beer. over hopped and over strong, but at least the label was pretty.
37. (can) Mast Landing Gunner's Daughter (5.5%). A pleasant Milk Stout, tasted superb after the Lunar Sunrise.
38. (can) Samuel Adams Octoberfest (5.3%).
38. (can) Samuel Adams Winter Lager (5.6%).
38. (can) Samuel Adams Boston Lager (5.0%).
Bottles
46. (bottle) Harpoon IPA (5.9%). This beer is almost 30 years old now, and you can see that they haven't gone silly with the hops like more recent offerings.
47. (bottle) Modelo Especial (4.5%).
48. (bottle) Żywiec Białe (4.9%). A Polish wheat beer, I'm sure it's completely inauthentic, but it was very nice.
