Review of the beer would be good...

I'm watching the fascinating battle for gold between two Brits on bikes who are room mates ... while drinking a bottle of Chilean red.

According to the blurb on the label it's a "Golden amber ale with subtle flavours of strawberries and vanilla", I think it is a beer brewed to coincide with Wimbledon which could be the reason why they are flogging it for 79p a bottle in Lidl...:)
It's very light and drinkable, perfect for a hot night in front of the TV!
 
As we are adept at criticising commentators on here, I might say that Simon Brotherton has been unexpectedly very good as a Cycling commentator and Chris Boardman has been an excellent analyst too. They were interrupting each other at the beginning of Olympic Cycling, stopped apologising early on, and now are dovetailing like a very good team.
 
Well, as you are a nosey bastard and were polite, I'll do what I can if anything happens. :)

Glad you spotted that.. I re-read my other post and was going to add a "please" because it sounded a bit bossy, but you'd already replied. I didn't want to sound rude when I wasn't wanting to :)
