About a week ago I read about the special 6 pack 4 Pines Brewery released which it has called the ******* Children of the British Empire, or 4 Pine's version of the history of pale ales.
After a fair bit of hunting around I finally found some at Warners at the Bay, which seemed to have plenty in stock (well...the Thursday before Easter when I visited they did anyway). It's a 500ml 6 pack that comes in an attractive box.
There are 5 'bastards'- an English and American IPA, and a New Zealand, Australian and Belgian pale ale, plus 4 Pines 'standard' pale ale (the '******* No More'.)
Was most curious about the Belgian pale ale, so cracked this one first. Found it spicy and fruity on the palate and overall quite a nice drop.
I will post again when I have tried the others, but in the meantime would be interested to hear what others think.
Cheers.
