Beer Sitrep, a small supermarket selection

So another week has slip passed us, with myself unsurprisingly having drank some beers and ales that I had previously not tried, mainly due to my better half Julie's run to Asda with a reminder of their four for £6 offer.
So leaving Asda's 'Something Special Range', presumably brewed by Mr. Tumble, I instructed her to grab four 330ml offerings from mid sized brewers wares.

Boss Brewing's Boss Blonde, refreshing, easy drinking, subtly flavoured and okay. 
The only real detractor is that you could get four cans of Boss Brewing Boss Boss, a US Double IPA, for the six quid deal. Which is a lot of candy grapefruit tasting fun and almost a massive ten alcohol units!

Brewgooder's Clean Water Lager, it may cut down your carbon footprint but it's not going to kick you in the gob with flavour, tastes like beer made from cornflakes, organic cornflakes though.

Brooklyn Brewery's Naranjito, enough orange to be citrusy but not so much to put off someone that isn't a massive fan of orange, after all it's not the only fruit. The above average quality you expect from this brewer.
Bad Co. Brewing's Boston Tea Party, a green tea IPA with a big 5.8% with flavours of a good US IPA with decent green tea dumped in it. Nothing wrong with either but the sum of its parts are greater then the overall combined effect leaving an okay brew.




Six of your pounds sterling will also purchase from Tesco, two slightly larger 440ml cans of
Vocation Brewery's Breakfast club, an ale that not only have I described as the UK's first full on supermarket craft 'craft' beer (ie a genuinely unusual style- waffle and blueberry breakfast stout)
but gives such a breakfast waffle flavour that you will be trying to wipe icing sugar off your lips after the first mouthful. The fruit also conveys well, only thing is, especially with the bigger than its shelf mates price tag, feels thin and it's 6.9% feels a bit under powered too.

So those Asda beers work out at £1.50 each but at Aldi £1.29 will get you a five hundred mil bottle of seasonal special ale.

Bootleg Brewing Co.'s Urban Fox, a rye beer from a brewery that I've tried not to comment too much on as I've only sampled poorly kept cask from them. Here we have a decent enough bitter with distinctive rye edge.
Wadworth's Treacle Treat, a beer that is presumably Aldi's Halloween seasonal that with it containing treacle will cover Guy Fawkes. The end result is so close to a good cask mild I’m actually quite impressed so much it has spooked away any of my regret of no Dunkel Fester as a Halloween special beer.

All that has left me with 2497 different beers tried over seven years. so the next time we talk, I should hopefully have gone over that milestone two thousand five hundred threshold and I shall be addressing you as an entry level ale connoisseur, I thank you very much.
