If you know me or of me, you will know I like beer. Over the last few years I have been collecting photos of every new beer I have.
I now have over 2,000 individual beers photographed and have realised that many beers that I assumed I have photos of, I haven't.

This blog will be therefore be an account of my quest for new beers to photo and how I enjoyed them (or not).

Some beers from last summer

Just had a couple of the beer I bought on holiday (vacation) last year, there are reasons that they have lasted this long. Some of the beers I bought are bottle conditioned and I keep disturbing the sediment. Some others are very strong and sine my episode last year, I have been weary of drinking them. There are other still to be drunk but they will not last long now.

First I tried, Lancelot, Bonnets Rouge from France, one of the bottle conditioned beers and I didn't manage to pour it clean though.

5.5% a hazy red colour with no head but what else can you expect pouring slowly, the aroma was fruity, as was the taste with fruity caramel malt in there, it was quite nice.

Next it was the strong one, Van Steenberge, Piraat from Belgium.

10.5% amber to red colour with a good head, sweet fruity ester aroma, taste is strong, bitter sweet and fruity, is is slightly over carbonated though but still very nice.
