Jo and I are just back from another week in sunny Tenerife, which for yours-truly meant a seven-day staple beer-diet of cerveza-style lagers: Dorada and Dorada Especial, Cruzcampo, Estrella Galicia and – a new one to me – Reina Oro. This last one was still a fairly typical lager, but I was told that it’s additive-free and it tasted pleasant enough; quite hoppy with a light dryness, not too gassy.

(I didn’t have to drink lager, of course. There was quite a lot of John Smith’s Extra Smooth around, but I wasn’t that desperate. Besides it was bloody hot and under those sorts of conditions, that cerveza stuff really does hit the spot…)

Anyhow, there’s clearly been plenty of activity in and around the beerblogosphere while I’ve been away. I was hoping to do another link round-up before I went but I ran out of time, so I’ll be sifting through my RSS feeds over the next few days and will post a round-up (or two) before too long, all being well. Adios for now.
