Current favourite beer
My favourite beer is changing constantly, it can be the same for a week and then change ten times in a day. I think that most real drinkers will experience something like this. Currently my choice is the Adnams East Green ale. The carbon neutral ale is advertised as a beer from the coast and is produced in Southwold in Suffolk. It's light, easy to drink and relatively inexpensive. You can get it in supermarkets and off licenses for around £1.80 which is a good price for such a refreshing ale.
It's called carbon neural because it's sourced from local sustainable ingridients, using an energy efficient brewing process and offsetting any carbon costs of distribution. This is in keeping with Adnams traditions as they look to become totally carbon neutal as a brewer.
Adnams call it a "light, golden beer with citrus and grassy hop aromas, dry and refreshing with well balanced bitterness", it comes at 4.3% and is good for a session. It is rather dry and some people have commented on the other flavours being too subtle but because of the lightness combined with the bitterness I think it is a really refreshing beer especially with the summer approaching.
