Ah, looking to call me a plagiarist.

I look forward to your back-tracking.
(and don't be calling me a cheat simply because I can tell the colour of a drink or pick up on some of the flavours)!

Keep your froth on.....I just wondered.

Well here goes then...

To be fair you have created your own versions of what the book says editing the content to nearly fit what I have written.

I also take it that I have a different view to the book where you haven't posted anything (the German brew for example).

So you have the book?

The coincidences are spooky aren't they?
I didn't find Willows Wood.
I found the Keller Bier....it didn't say much about taste....so you could invent that.
Vanilla and pepper eh?
I was thinking more of a crisp and and fresh character, very heavily hopped with Hallertau and Select hops and truly unique.
Don't worry....your secret is safe with me.

It's on the JDW website, I checked on reading your 'selective' comments.

Ah, you assumed that I drank that in JDW's.

Invent it ... why?

They weren't selective...I matched like for like.

I didn't....a look at the book showed otherwise.

You had nothing to go on.

Are you taking this seriously?
I am in two minds.
Is your reputation as our beer correspondent in doubt I wonder?

Old Mill Willows Wood
Wanderer
A golden hoppy pale ale 4.2%.
Official Site
Thirst quenching, golden coloured with a light hoppy, fruity balance ending with a gentle hoppy sweetness.

Another person's view:-

St Georgen Brau Keller Bier - This Bavarian import poured a slightly cloudy golden amber colour, had zero aroma (even Jo, whose nose is much better than mine, was hard-pressed to detect anything) and despite a distinct, green-apple-sour tang, with a very bitter hoppy after-taste, wasn't huge on flavour either. It wasn't unpleasant, but I certainly wouldn't have gone back to the bar for another.

He couldn't detect vanilla and pepper....but he had probably not been eating ice-cream and interacting with riot police.
This German beer has saved you for now.
But I will be watching from now on.

Right that's enough back to normal service............

Reference the Old Mill brew, I didn't drink it in JDW's but they have had beers on during each of their festivals that weren't on the list.

And no mate, I'm not taking it seriously.

Funny you should mention normal service. You will see I posted nothing afer about 8 o'clock last night - power cut! Supply not back on when I left for work this morning!

I'm intuitive.

It's usually us up at the top end of Cusworth that get power cuts when the rest of the area escapes.........we didn't have one here.

Turned out to be the cabelling. They've dug up the path outside next door!

Anyway normal service resumed. I could murder a decent pint.
