Leighton doesn’t like a beer!!!! Shock, horrorrrrrr!!!! Not exactly, Ian. Gnarly is a versatile word and, believe it or not, it has positive connotations. A visit to the Urban Dictionary might shed some light: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=gnarly Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuude :p

Or just extreme sour with no funk?

So, with regard to this work http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gnarly_Buttons is the application of the descriptor "gnarly" to the buttons in question positive or negative? Or perhaps it just means "gnarled"? It’s all so difficult, this language business.

Message madmitch76 P beers 36949 º places 240 º 14:26 Mon 7/15/2013 Howling Hops Sour Cherry done for now. A cask and a keg remain. Substituted by Howling Hops Strawberry Sour. Watch out for Gooseberry and Blackberry versions.
Message madmitch76 P beers 36949 º places 240 º 14:49 Mon 7/15/2013 Right. Wallflower Wit. Confusion abounds. It’s under Pressure Drop (or as I like to call them for short - no you can’t buy beers at the brewery but just follow us on twitter to see all the people that can) as a collab. Someone has also added Orange Wit under Howling Hops and the staff at the Cock T said this version was brewed in Hackney. The pumpclip says Wallflower Wit. Howling Hops also released it bottled with no reference to ’no you can’t buy our beers etc’ BUT the pumpclip does play hommage to Pressure Drop. Confused? Me too! If you have this at the Cock T then I believe should rate it under Howling Hops Orange Wit. If you have it from a The Pressure Drop then rate it under them. If it’s the same beer it can be lumped later. As ChrisO says it’s easier to lump down the line than to split.

The pumpclip (see it here: http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/pressure-drop--howling-hops-wallflower/218754/ ) says "Wallflower Orange Wit". Perhaps these are the same beer, just one extraneous entry?

I did a Search for ’orange’ and ’wit’ on the Howling hops brewery page here and thought I was safe to add. I had no idea it would be under Pressure Drop. Happy to move my rating over to the pressure drop one and delete the howling hops beer if they are the same.
Message Leighton P beers 33724 º places 1204 º 00:43 Wed 7/17/2013 The Harbour event at CPK last night was decent. A few interesting beers. Biggest letdown, though, was realizing their ’Blueberry Weisse’ wasn’t a Berliner Weisse but rather a fairly boring and not-that-fruity wheat ale. Life goes on.
