A few bottles of carling citrus zest. Its a lemon/lime flavored lager, and really nice. Especially lovely and frosty from the fridge, served as an accompanyment to a bowl of pickled green olives.

A bacardi mojito with soda water and lime juice, with two big, juicy slices of fresh lime, and a bottle of carling zest that I found quite by chance in the same bag as my bottle of mojito; a pleasant surprise, as I thought I had drunk the last bottle I had.

I think this just became my favourite lager, the zest stuff, is flavored with a little citrus. It is some pretty damn more-ish stuff. I'm not really a big drinker, in a way. When I do drink to get pissed, which is rare, alcohol being such a shitty recreational drug in general; then I can pack away a pint of vodka in one 'shot', but that is exceedingly rare for me. I generally only drink until slightly tipsy. This citrus lager isn't too strong, at only 2.8 percent, which is great, as its so refreshing that they don't last long, quite often I'll just drain the bottle to the last drop in one long pull. Delish :)

Coffee.

Lestat, considering you like the citrus flavour, how do you like IPAs?

I have several times heard the name IPA used in the context of beer/lager.

But the only meaning of the abbreviation IPA I know of is shorthand for isopropanol. Whilst not hideously toxic, its really not something one wants to drink.

So what is it/are they ?


Currently drinking a mixture of bacardi mojito and fizzy appletizer, and also mojito and soda, with a squirt of fresh lime juice and slices of lime.

IPA = India Pale Ale.  Beyond that I'm clueless.

India Pale Ale. It was originally a pale ale meant for export to India but now regarded as a class of pale ales, typically with a more or less distinct citrus flavour.
