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 whic 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!

Dammit, that reads as very nice indeed. ;)

Oh no! If I picked up a beer with "strawberries and vanilla " as a part of the description, I'd put it down again, no matter how subtle. Not my cup of tea that ....

Thanks for the review though.
 
Andy's going to try and run del Potro ragged tonight as he had a long match against Nadal yesterday. dP already looking a bit knackered...

Giles Scott gives a great interview in the Finn class sailing and Claire Balding was definitely near to a tear. Serial blubber that girl. Quite endearing actually. Just demonstrates her pride.

I really like Claire Balding but she gets crucified in any "Have your say" articles on the BBC website. Don't know whether it's sexism or what but I'd rather watch/listen to her than Inverdale.
 
Claire Balding is an excellent studio anchor....she is knowledgeable enough not to look like a bimbo, but she is not afraid to ask questions to help the viewer. She has the respect of the sports people as well. She doesn't irritate me in any way and that's an achievement. :)

She is excellent. I have always liked her on TV and on the radio too. I then found out about 6-9 months back that she is a Saint, so now I know she is excellent :)

She's a big rambler so TSS should be on side :)

I saw her do a reading from her book - came across as a lovely lady.
