Rebellion Red

Today I am going to talk about another one from my Waitrose collection! Rebellion Red (4.5% abv) is a dark red coloured bitter which tasted quite similar to Fuller's ESB (which I have been drinking all afternoon). It tastes like ESB, but it has this acrid burnt taste in it, which I think comes from being a little heavy handed with 120L crystal. This beer was also really underwhelming hop wise, and I could not taste the cascade in it for the life of me.

The verdict? Well Clarkson really shat me tonight...

You can find out more about Rebellion Beers here. But I wouldn't bother!

On other news, my mate Jay is coming to visit. he is a soft cock and doesn't drink beer, so I am going to force him into the way of the ale. After seeing some of the insides of London's best pubs, I am sure I will have him converted. We are meeting my mate Chris (yeah the guy with the big head) near Farringdon for lunch on Friday. Even though I work in the area, does anybody have any suggestions on where I should take Jay? I have already ruled out the Sir John Oldcastle as its a JDW, The Mitre and a couple of others where my colleagues drink. I really don't fancy seeing them, on my day off!
