Saison (5.9% ABV), meaning ‘season’ is a refreshing and thirst-quenching beer for summer, with notes of black pepper, spice and citrus, offering lightly tart, sweet flavours and a fresh aroma. Combining Magnum and Citra hops, it is gently spiced with ginger, lemon and lime zest.

Not bad! I'm no fan of peach flavours but I wanted to try a sour beer and this was the first I saw at Sainsburys. 

An interesting drink, I'd have it again. 

I generally like peach-flavoured things . . . this used to be my favourite:

Sadly they've discontinued it and refuse to bring it back. Judging by the number of 'brew your own' recipes for it online I'm not the only one who misses it. I might have to have a go myself at some point.

I picked up loads of the M&S range when they (last) flogged them off for about 30p each. I seem to remember this one being pretty good, as was the Blood Orange wheat beer.

 

(Half of) one tonight. My excuse is that I wanted to find out how good it was so that I can pick up some more on Friday before they sell out, if it met expectations. It exceeded them.

I'd like to try to cherry Old J but generally I'm not a fan of cherry flavoured stuff so not going to be getting a bottle! I had the vanilla and lime one for Christmas and wasn't sure at first, but then it grew on me and I very quickly got through the rest!

Yeah might not be for you then. 
 

The original Old J (the vanilla and lime one) is definitely my preferred version.

Had our pokerface night last night so thought I’d opt for a different tipple for a change ... found a bottle of alcoholic ginger beer In my garage fridge and thought , ahh that might be refreshing 

turns out it went off in Aug 2017 , 

i know I don’t drink a a lot at home but hadn’t realised just how little !!

I’ve been trying to limit to 1 bottle when I do my online Houseparty stuff with mates  ... Mrs H went shopping today and bless her she bought these massive litre bottles of lager  so I can stick to my 1 self imposed 1 bottle limit ... I knew there was a reason I stuck with her :)

Had a ridiculously busy day at work, nothing flashy for me so reverted to my comfort blanket drink which is Stella Artois

Some days it’s just needed

Strangely it’s the one beer I prefer from a can
