Too sweet Tropical Beer
Hello Hivians and all you beer lovers.
It's Saturday well actually it is Monday afternoon, which means it's two days past #beersaturday, but I had good intentions of posting then but well things happened lol!
I just finished a cup of coffee, and it reminded me of my years in Spain where I used to drink a cortado coffee and matching beer!
Anyway onto the beer at hand!
Time for a tasty Anti-Establishment Tropical Double IPA
It was one of my favourites, the 7.2% APR certainly helped! Being a favourite I always have a few cans of it in the fridge for days like Saturday!
As I poured it, it smelt sweet.
As a kid one of my favourite soft drinks was Lilt the totally Tropical taste!
Which is why I liked this Tropical Beer...
However, this time I found it too sweet!
Yep too sweet, and I struggled to finished the first drink.
The more I poured the more that sweet aroma wafted around the room!
Time to get that dinner in the oven!
Dinner
Well that sweet beer threw me off my game, I only took pictures of before I put the pizza in the oven
It was billed as a pulled pork pizza, I had grabbed one of those 2 for a tenner deals. Well there was not much pulled pork, but then again there never is that much meat on these things, and I always tart them up for Mrs T.
The Beer ...
I have written about it before so will not dwell on that too much, it is a double IPA so does have a healthy kick to it.
it is an Aldi supermarket own-brand product, this line has historically been brewed for them by Williams Bros. Brewing Co.. They are a highly regarded independent Scottish brewery based in Alloa.
My Verdict
For some reason I found it too sweet this time! I did enjoy the pizza though!

The pizza looked like it would have been a treat. However would pass on the beer. Just not into the fruity flavored sweet stuff.
Yeah last time it was ok, but I guess I was sweet enough this time hehe!
I had a honey infused Polish beer one time that was just cloyingly sweet. It was almost like drinking pure honey. I finished the bottle, but it was rough.
Have you ever had mead, the old honey beer? Sounds like that!
I think maybe once. There was a town that had a meadery, but it closed before I had the chance to try it.
I quite like honey on it's own sometimes, but that does give sweet vibes
