Overmarked IMHO
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"

Dance of the night. Totally unexpected for a rumba. Her legs were a-maz-ing

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.

Cider Chronicle. Soft aroma which I can't place. Quite crisp, tingly with a touch of that traditional farmyard funk.

Chimps consume equivalent of a beer a day in alcohol from fermented fruit Study finds chimpanzeesโ€™ enthusiasm for guzzling ripe fruit puts their ethanol intake at about 14g per day

#Chimpanzees ingested 14g of #ethanol daily from fermented fruit, around half pint of 5% ABV lager.
Work from #UCBerkeley showed that as chimps consumed 5 -10% of their body weight in fruit, even low #alcohol amounts result in a significant intake #Research

Gin Journal. Aromatic, with fruity undertones. The whisky adds vanilla & malt on the nose & palate. An unusal & more-ish gin. Paired with Fever-Tree

The limited edition Luttrell 1376 gin by Dunster Distillery. Matured in a Whisky Barrel for 6 months.

Beer lovers fall into two flavour camps โ€” which one are you in? Research shows that beer drinkers are split depending on which types of flavour chemicals they prefer.

Beer drinker? Which are you? ๐Ÿ“ or ๐Ÿ

Beer drinkers split in 2 categories:

- Those who prefer strong flavour chemicals such as in ๐Ÿ“

- Those who favour mellow ones, such as from ๐Ÿ
