Grass, apple, grapefruit + something I can’t quite get on the nose.

Drying mouthfeel with a less bitterness than expected.

First taste is slightly disappointing. Overall not bad a 13 but for Rye Pale Ale the benchmark has been set very high by Terrapin

A friend has a few spare hours in Zurich where can he get good beer? http://www.beerviking.com/2010/06/the-question-a-friend-has-a-few-spare-hours-in-zurich-where-can-he-get-good-beer/ http://www.beerviking.com/2010/06/the-question-a-friend-has-a-few-spare-hours-in-zurich-where-can-he-get-good-beer/#comments Mon, 14 Jun 2010 09:31:42 +0000 Doc D http://www.beerviking.com/2010/06/the-question-a-friend-has-a-few-spare-hours-in-zurich-where-can-he-get-good-beer/

Simple… In the main train station in Zurich is Brasserie Federal with 200+ Swiss bottled beers and a few on tap. 

Brasserie Federal
Bahnhofplatz 15, 8001 Zürich, Schweiz

Need to look for beers from:

Also worth trying one of the hemp beers which they still brew in Switzerland. Wild stuff.

And if he has more time try to find this brewpub Das Restaurant Steinfels  (which I haven't been to yet but looks intersting): http://www.steinfels-zuerich.ch/

Earlier, I was able to pick up my beers for the Beer Swap.  I was very excited to find that Sam Lanes, from Real Ale Reviews, had sent through the following choice selection of beers from parts of Yorkshire.   Can’t wait to start the tasting.
