Shepherd Neame's Goldings

"Shepherd Neame uses the finest aromatic hops blended with pure well-drawn water to produce this soft and golden seasonal ale. Enjoy on a long Summer evening.
"Dscribed as 'light malty flavours and smoothness provide a refreshing Summer ale with notes of new-mown grass. The resinous aroma of the hops and fruitness from the yeast complete the country character.2"

4.5% ABV. Read more on Shepherd Neame website.

Canadian Club

I made a berry cocktail with Canadian Club for which I can't find a name:
  • 4cL Canadian Club
  • 2cL Brown Sugar syrup
  • 5 blackberries
  • 8 raspberries
  • Half a lime
  • 12 mint leaves
Muddle the berries and lime in a mixing glass. Add sugar syrup, whisky and mint leaves. Shake hard with ice cubes. Double strain in a cocktail glass. Garnish with a mint sprig.

This is a delicious fruity and minty cocktail.

40% ABV. Read more on Candian Club website.

Sharp's Atlantic IPA

"India Pale Ale (IPA) was first brewed in the 19th Century. Naturally preserved by high alcohol and strong hops the beer was well set to survive the long and hot journey under sail to India.
"With Atlantic IPA Sharp's Brewery has taken the essence of the original IPA and modernised it to create a crisp beer with a superb dry finish and a light golden colour.
As a brewery sitting on Corwall's Atlantic coast the naming of this beer came naturally. The RNLI's commitment to saving lives at sea is legendary and to support this cause, a proportion of all sales of Atlantic IPA will be donated to the RNLI."

This IPA does not taste as an IPA. It is refreshing like a blond beer and not bad but not at all similar to the usual IPAs.

4.8% ABV. Read more on Sharp's Brewery website.
