La Guillotine

5/5. Golden and lively with plenty of fizz. A little harsh as it meets the tongue, but packs a mature and very mellow finish. Definitely one of my favourite blondes.

St Idesbald Tripel

2/5. Rich dark gold colour but not much in the nose. Very bitter on the tongue and a rather acidic aftertaste.

Hello you, I'm Mike Padgett. I'm not a Princeton curator, Knoxville mayoral candidate, Kentuckian pastor or Arizona journalist, I just share the same name. In fact, I am a consultant working in user experience and information design.

I also enjoy travel, concerts, films and walking.

I'm originally from Yorkshire, England but nowadays I live in Belgium. My current favourite Belgian beer is Black Albert.

Shameless self-promotion
