Our Special Ale (USA)
The Anchor Porter was one of my favourite beers from the book so far, so I was really looking forward to this one, and I have to say that I wasn't disappointed. This is Anchor Brewery's Christmas beer, but I don't understand what was so Christmassy about it, it's not even a Christmas tree on the bottle. They could sell this all year round and I would happily buy it any time.
Timmermans Framboise Lambic (Belgium)
I'm starting to think that Belgians don't really like beer, they try to make it taste like anything else. This one tastes like raspberries. It's not as nice as the cherry one I had a couple of weeks ago, but still quite nice. It tastes more like a cider than a beer though.
Fuller's ESB (England)
In case you were wondering, ESB stands for "Extra Special Beer". In my opinion it would need to be a bit better to earn that name. It is good, but no better than any of the other Fuller's beer. But I guess "Extra Normal Beer" wouldn't sell so well.
***BONUS BEER***
Redback Original Wheat (Australia)
This one isn't in the book. But I felt I should include it here because my lovely girlfriend had it shipped over all the way from the land down under for me. As the name suggests, it's a wheat beer, which I usually don't like so much. But this was more like a lager and the wheat taste didn't attack my taste buds like one of those angry kangaroos with boxing gloves on. Instead it was more gentle, like a half-asleep koala. I liked this a lot.
