A Beer In Review - Temple's Bicycle Beer

10 years ago I wouldn't be able to drink a beer called bicycle, I'd be too busy making jokes about town bikes and how they compare to your girlfriend/mum/sister. Now your girlfriend is your wife and, unless she is actually sleeping around(even then that's a very slippery slope to be treading), that's really bad form; I've met your mum and she's lovely, she baked cookies for us that one time; and I would like to take your sister out, so saying that, even in jest, is probably not in my best interest.

Now my only joke about bicycle beer is this-

Q: If I drink 15 bicycle beers, I become like a bicycle and can no longer stand. Why? 

A: Because I'm two-tired.

"Good joke. Everybody laugh. Roll on snare drum. Curtains...." 

Name: Bicycle Beer

Alcohol Content: 4.2% (1.1 standard drinks)

Served: Chilled, straight from the 330ml bottle to my mouth

What it says-

"A light and refreshing beer with a soft malt character complemented by the fresh hop aroma of citrus & summer fruits & the addition of an ancient sea salt"

What I says-

First glance: I'm kind of excited, the beer doesn't advertise what style it is- ale, lager, stout, etc. I just don't know what they're trying to pedal* here, it's a Victorian mystery to be revealed below...

Flavour: Fairly mild light ale. Has plenty of citrus, I'm not familiar with the style but I guess you could almost call it a radler, which would make sense for the name (radler = cyclist, it's called 'Bicycle Beer', get it?).

Verdict: I enjoyed this beer. Nice flavour, I feel it would go well on a hot summer's day. Yes drinking this beer is like riding a bike- 'If you can't remember how to do it, you're too drunk. Just kebab up and get yourself home to bed.'

Score: 3.5 bottle caps
