So, the background is well established, the stage is set and the players are ready to give you their tale. Shall we read on together or wilt thy courage fail and have thee walk, defeated, from the field where the beer is reviewed?

Beer Review: JHB
I was actually rather pleased to have spotted this in my local beer store after being inspired to try it by a review elsewhere on the internets (here). Still, I do rather like Oakham Ales and so it was no personal tragedy to be having tonight JHB (or, to give it the full name: Jeffrey Hudson Bitter). Jeffrey Hudson, by the by, was a three foot tall bruiser in the employ of Charles I apparently.

Beer Review: Citra
This one has been sitting in the kitchen for quite some time. I picked it up because Oakham Ales is a good brewery and most people I know who drink beers and drink good beers tell me they are a brewery to watch. Anyway, it looked intriguing, what with the Green Man as art on the bottle, and I thought it would neatly fit the general milieu of this here blog that occasionally covers topics other than beer.
Tonight I shall be wordily and verbosely setting out the virtues and pitfalls of Citra. It is a good looking ale.
Yes, that is another bottle of Blue Fin Stout (link) in the background. They were on offer locally for less than a quid and, you know, it would be rude not to. There's a Double IPA there too if you look hard enough.

Beer Review: Inferno
This little beauty was, believe it or not, a Valentine's Day present from Willow. However, with one thing and another I had not got round to drinking it. I'd been waiting for a special occasion I think but there hasn't really been such a thing since when it was presented and so... well, I caved and decided that I would have it tonight for no particular reason.
It is, of course, Oakham Ales's Inferno that promises to ignite my taste buds with flickering hops of five varieties from the Yakima Valley. Well. I have no clue where that is and even less what is meant by 'flickering' in this case, but it does rather sound 'ticing, no?
