Bottle promises apricots and oranges. Delivers in no uncertain terms. Gently sweet body wraps around mouth with enough hop to give balance. - Drinking a Past Masters 1914 Strong X by Fuller's Brewery - https://t.co/svLkZm1u0R

[The Tippster @TheTippster]

Beautiful. Strong but gentle, bold but soft, mouth coating with some residual sweetness and great interplay of malt, hops and roastiness. - Drinking a Past Masters 1910 Double Stout by Fuller's Brewery - https://t.co/Vm8Xa4evNa

[The Tippster @TheTippster]

Powerful, caramelly ale a bit past its best. - Drinking a Past Masters 1966 Strong Ale by Fuller's Brewery - https://t.co/AIStuD8W5B

[The Tippster @TheTippster]

Intense strong gooseberry sour beer with great balance and real personality. - Drinking a Dr Jekyll by @BeavertownBeer/@toolbeer - https://t.co/v7Ch7Zh5yc

[The Tippster @TheTippster]

Rum, syrup, burnt notes and fleeting whiffs of turpentine and swimming pool but most of all very, very alcoholic. - Drinking a Reparationsbajer Director's Cut by @toolbeer - https://t.co/aCS2eud0AN

[The Tippster @TheTippster]

Excellent. Pilsner. Really. Excellent. - Drinking an Amos by @bohembrewery at @bohemtaproom — https://t.co/HcjktgiRxB

[The Tippster @TheTippster]

Oddly grapey nose with extra sherbet and elderflower on the palate. The Cantillon influence is evident and adds depth and a sense of age. - Drinking a Duchessic by @BirraDelBorgo - https://t.co/vqSH2wfcZS

[The Tippster @TheTippster]

Solid if unspectacular. Soft and mouth filling with notes of melon and lychee. - Drinking a Luminance by @MagicRockBrewCo - https://t.co/vTqR7Qn4rR

[The Tippster @TheTippster]

Rich, sweet, sour, bitter. Winey, plummy, IPA-y. Surprisingly easy drinking. Feels like I've travelled back in time. - Drinking a TrIPA by @littleearthbeer - https://t.co/pSuSJ1OOxp

[The Tippster @TheTippster]

Smells concentrated. Lighter bodied than might be expected but still dense. Burnt logs, petrol, nuts & ripe plums on the palate. - Drinking an IJsbok Hout by SNAB Bierbrouwers - https://t.co/lJsyuzVNaU

[The Tippster @TheTippster]

Blimey reminds me of Watney's Stingo of my youth: dark, burnt, rich, fruity, liquoricey. Good stuff! - Drinking a Tynt Meadow by Mount Saint Bernard Abbey - https://t.co/p2vAO9AUUg

TheTippster is drinking a Rueuze (2014) by @thebruery on @untappd - https://t.co/qlisUcujqs

[The Tippster @TheTippster]

Chocolate, then rich solera sherry on the nose, on the palate more cherry liqueur than beer. Too many years in the bottle no doubt. - Drinking a Cherry Sour 2012 Vintage by @MOABEER - https://t.co/vHH904BVrG

[The Tippster @TheTippster]

Gentle gueuze style beer. Restrained sourness allows musty, old hopsack and gentle funk to dominate. Spritzy finish. - Drinking a Birra Madre Gazeuse by Birrificio Menaresta - https://t.co/GI1Tf6h7Pp

[The Tippster @TheTippster]

Highly accomplished if not exactly a traditional Vienna. Too dry and a tad too bitter. But still excellent. - Drinking an A-W18 One-Off Vienna Lager V2 by @cloudwaterbrew - https://t.co/MvnDhHW1v2

[The Tippster @TheTippster]

Close to perfect on draught in Bamberg, the bottle's still good with an expansive palate of clean malt & hops and a delightful yeastiness. - Drinking an aU Ungespundet Naturtrüb by Mahr's Bräu - https://t.co/DFiDVbevJS

[The Tippster @TheTippster]

Good but not a standout example of what seems to be a kellerbier. Everything's just a bit too low key. Well balanced nonetheless. - Drinking an Oberreichenbacher Naturtrübes Hausbräu by Brauereigasthof Geyer - https://t.co/DvaQekgQFa

[The Tippster @TheTippster]

Malty, soft on palate with good intertwining of hops and grassy meadow. - Drinking a Farmers Glory by @Wadworth @ The Viper — https://t.co/17F5pM3nO5
