Gin Journal. Pleasant bouquet of a classic gin with swirls of blood orange. Smooth on the palate, soft juniper melange with blood orange. There is a warmth that builds along with some depth in the timbre from the cacao. A masterful #gin

Cider Chronicle. Lovely melange of apple & rhubarb fruitiness. A hint of sweetness balanced with tartness.

Beerbook. Soft citrus on the nose. Pleasant citus with a touch of piney bitterness that dissipates. There is a curious creamines which makes this very easy to drink.
This would be a decent beer for an afternoon session in the spring.

Cider Chronicle. This really tastes of rhubarb. The #cider is the medium that enables the rhubarb"s fruity flavour & touch of tartness. Medium sweet. Picked this up at #Rhubarbfest.
Worth looking out for.

Maybe. I infuse gin with sloes & sugar so addition if honey may oversweeten dependent on taste

Saw Amber & Nikita's centrifugal lift then dismount straight back into beat. No comparison

Not really a Cha Cha Cha fan, but, again, he has been hampered by the music choice. K Pop & now #charlixcx Apple. What next, an American Smooth to Metallica's "Master of Puppets"

When the hippies were turning on, tuning in & burning out, in none of their most lurid acid storm hallucinations would they have been able to visualise the Thunderbirds as that Ross in that routine!

Cider Chronicle. Underpowered. Needs more fruit. More oomph. The name implies more. #cider

Beerbook. Citrusy with some spice. Expected more creamy texture. This is a pleasant beer though.
