. Favourite Beer of the Week

Sam Smith's India Ale is not the best IPA I have ever tasted. No sir. It's okay, just not great. It's rather bitter and not much else. It achieves the status of favourite beer of the week purely by the fact that it was drunk on our back deck on a Friday night after a healthy romp around Mt. Davidson.


Maybe it's nicer in Yorkshire before they stick it in a bottle and ship it over here. I know I was.

Or maybe my tastebuds have been ruined by brash and gaudy American IPAs with their in-your-face over-the-top hops. Who knows? Who cares? It's Friday!
