We’re\u00a0reviewing the\u00a0BoozeBud Advent Calendar<\/a> for 2016. You can find days 1-5 here<\/a>,\u00a0days 6-10 here<\/a>\u00a0and days 11-15 here<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Days 16 – 20<\/strong><\/p>\n

Day 16:<\/strong> Hope Nation Brewing Co. – The Buzz American Red. \u00a0Alright, not as good as others I have tried.<\/span><\/p>\n

Day 17:\u00a0<\/strong>Woolshed Brewery – Summer Ale. Smooth crisp fully sick really good beer.<\/p>\n

Day 18:<\/strong> Wolf of the Willows – Extra Pale Ale. Very hoppy, ok for a hoppy beer.<\/p>\n

Day 19: Fox Hat – Lusty Lager. The sweet flavour hides the fact that this actually had quite a high alcohol content. I like lagers and this is a good one. Hard to choose between Day 17 and this one.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Day 20:<\/strong> Pirate Life Brewing – Pale Ale. Strong and malty for a pale ale. Darker in colour as well. The first sip was not what I expected but by the time I finished the beer it left a nice taste in my mouth for another. Alright. But not as good as yesterday’s.<\/p>\n

Fox Hat Lusty Lager<\/strong><\/p>\n

A strong hoppy lager, fermented cool and clean and hopped with a heavy hand.<\/p>\n

To the eye: A dense pure white head greets the eye. Golden orange and brilliant in clarity – lusty is a most attractive beer.<\/p>\n

Up your nose: Breathe her in, she’s clean and fresh. Notes of apricot, melon and tropical fruit fill your nose, and hints of spice and cedar follow.<\/p>\n

In your mouth: Her svelte malt body leads to seductive flavours. A list bitterness and clean crisp finish relies her 6.0% alcohol.<\/p>\n
