5/1823) Home:  Lager Beer by Innis & Gunn of Scotland:  *1/2;  4.2%;  "brewed with naked golden oats:;  inspired by German Helles style beers;  brewed with the usual four ingredients plus wheat and oats;  I don't know that this is barrel aged;  clear and golden;  a Euro style lager;  tart, bready nose;  sweet citrus flavours;  it's OK for a lager, but a bit of a disappointment considering the source;

7/1825) Home:  Bons Vœux by Brasserie Dupont of Belgium:  *1/2;  9.5%;  bottle fermented;  sugar is added to the mix;  opaque;  persistent fine white head;  tart, musty, nearly bitter nose;  my wife called it "tangy";  very dry after taste but a sweet fruitiness prior;
