15. Beavertown Neck Oil

Beer number 15 - Neck Oil

Brand: Beavertown 
Consumption date: 29/02/15
Description: Session IPA
Nationality: English
ABV: 4.3%
Source: We Brought Beer
Price: £1.67 (part of 6 for £10 offer)

I've mentioned a bit of my history with Beavertown in my previous blog entry - the neck oil played a pivotal role in the development of my love of Beavertown. For me this is one of the elite session IPAs. 

It's light, crisp and full of hops - it has a smooth flavour with a very satisfying aftertaste. It's paler than I remember. As part of this craft beer "starter pack" from a new local shop that specialise in home brewing and craft beer, this is great value. 

The only downside was that from the can it's not quite as refreshing as it is on draught. The only place I've known that stocked it on tap removed it from their draught selection some time ago, replacing it with something inferior. They cited problems dealing with Beavertown as a supplier - sort it out guys!

For that reason I give rate this 3.5 beers out of 5
