Hi Sakurius, Yes, I understand that pilsener/lagers are less flavoured, and yes, the fuller, rounder tastes of real ale (or similar pale ales in bottles, are an "acquired taste" but they don't need to be drunk too cold, and they don't need to be that alcoholic. 3.8 to 4.5% ABV. I find that those stronger than that are too sweet for me, and I have no interest in getting drunk.

I strongly recommend that you try them out.

Well, I bought those beers with the idea of drinking one every day. But really, I drink two all days and they are lasting less than I thought.

Being an old git of 61 I've been quaffing since the 1970s, and although Draught Bass has changed in flavour and body it's still a very good ale. The others I drink in town are mainly Castle Eden Ale, in the Dun Cow, and Sam Smiths Old Brewery Bitter in the Colpitts, all different but they get a fast turnover and are kept very well and always fresh. If I nip up to Newcastle on the train for an afternoon sup I'm confronted by sights like this . . .

Oh my godness, the beers of your photo shows amzings. The second one is like Ginness, no?

It looks like Guinness, but Guinness is chilled and comparatively bland, whereas well kept ale is merely cooled at cellar temperature, ie 12-14°C, which allows the full full flavours to develop. I’m off out into Durham City later, to the Victoria, a lovely Victorian pub with open coal fires, where the following awaits . . .

Took a stroll down the hill into the city yesterday for a slurp. The stout was so nice I may pop out later to make sure . . .
