By -
A bit of a double blog post... I'm going to show you my beers and review a beer!



Yeah, so I ordered some badass beers.

Full list:

Camden Town Helles (United Kingdom)
Mikkeller American Dream (Denmark)
Mikkeller/Revelation Cat Cream Ale (Denmark/Italy)
Mikkeller Czechet Pilsner (Denmark)

Boags Premium (Australia)
Einstök Icelandic Pale Ale (Iceland)
Banks Caribbean Lager (Barbados)
Mikkeller Citra Single Hop IPA (Denmark)

Oh and naturally I was drinking a Brewdog Hardcore IPA that I bought the night before at Sainsbury's. Probably not the best idea at 2:30pm!

Quite an interesting selection I think! 

So, for my first review:


Nils Oscar Ctrl Alt Delete (I bought it purely because of the name. Geek swag)
Sweden (My first ever Swedish beer)
Altbier
330ml bottle
4.5%



As you can see, it pours a clear coppery amber colour. Looks quite carbonated.

Aroma is quite malty and fruity. I got bready/yeasty aromas too but not as much as the fruit.

Taste... winter berries. Lots of winter berries and caramel, quite malty too. Low carbonation considering it looks quite fizzy. Also, a bit bitter. I also got this weird salt-like taste too which I probably could've done without.


I like this beer but I don't think I'll be in a rush to order a whole crate of it.


More reviews will come...

Beats: Album of the Month – August

If you follow me on twitter or read my ramblings on this here blog, you would’ve seen that I did a Beer of the Month post. It was a difficult decision to make. You may also notice if you follow me on twitter that I listen to A LOT of different music; I think I got something like 30 new albums in August alone which is ridiculous. You’d think with that much new music, picking an album of the month would be difficult, right? Wrong. This was a simple choice. So, which band wins the almighty honour of Booze, Beats & Bites’ first ever album of the month? The award goes to…

Lidl Currywurst - A Review

Ah, Currywurst! A Berlin institution and indeed, if you've been to Berlin and didn't eat Currywurst whilst you were there, I'm not sure we can be friends. My first Currywurst was on my first ever trip to Berlin in August 2016 where I stumbled upon a stall at the Street Theatre Festival on Alexanderplatz; I grabbed a cheap €3 plate as well as a beer and sat in the warm sun, and fell in love. Later on that trip I visited the Currywurst museum (yes, such a thing exists) and although a novelty, I feel it was possibly the wurst (SEE WHAT I DID THERE?) eleven euros I've ever spent. The premise of Currywurst, for those who don't know, is simple: It's effectively sliced boiled and fried sausage coated in a sweet curry ketchup and topped with curry powder; you'll usually find it served with chips and mayonnaise on nearly every street corner in Berlin. I'd seen the famous CurryKing brand of microwavable Currywurst in supermarkets in Germany but never did I e

Beats: God Seed – I Begin review

God Seed was created by Norwegian black metal legends Gaahl and King Ov Hell when they left Gorgoroth in 2009. Whilst they were with Gorgoroth, they played hundreds of sold out shows culminating in their absolutely fucking massive, legendary performance at Wacken 2008. I am proud to say that I was there and it was absolutely fucking mindblowing. Everything you think of black metal was true. Fire, darkness and pentagrams. Fucking yes. I’ve always been a massive black metal fan. None of my friends were ever really that into it but I’ve loved it. It’s a genre that has always rattled cages, scared people and even made headline news. It’s just so dark and disgusting. I’ve been excited about this album for a while but y’know, I really have to be in the right mood for Black Metal. Today, this is the case.
