Brains SA Gold

From the Cockpit, Chris and I headed up to Bow Lane, behind St Pauls and settled into a pub which was serving beers from the Welsh Brains Brewery. Rather than have a pint of 'Ordinary' Brains, I opted for SA Gold (4.7% abv) a rich Welsh golden ale. SA Original is more commonly known as Original Cardiff Skull Attack (for unknown reasons?? hehe), and I was hoping that this stuff would follow suit. However, the beer turned out to be slightly disappointing and tasted pretty much like flat lager. I guess it would be a good beer to turn Lagerheads on to real ale, but then that doesn't say much! The most interesting thing about this particular pint was the high population of Essex Wide Boys trying to pick up young attractive city office Secretaries. The young sectretaries themselves are out to score with young bullish multimillion pound a year city boy trader types (who the wide boys are pretentding to be) and hence a vicious cycle of desperation starts, much to our entertainment. Also worthy of note are the obviously underage girls out and about totally smashed of their heads. I'm sorry, there is nothing attractive about a 13 year old wearing her Mum's sluttiest outfit, overdone with makeup , and puking in the gutter!
