Whats the science behind not mixing grape and grain?

Every Friday I have a few Abbots or Ruddles followed by half a bottle of whatever red Mrs Jedi picks, cant say I've had any ill effects from mixing the two?

Following the adage "Beer wine fine, wine beer queer" works in my experience. So mix but in the right order.

This morning I've been advised that bottles of Abbott Ale are now stocked in the Brit Club here.

"daas blond" an organic Belgian beer. 6.5%

[voodooflux]

So far this evening:

Morrissey Fox Blonde
Purity Pure Ubu
Purity Pure Gold
Purity Mad Goose

Aldi's Golden Pale Ale. 4.2%

£1.19

Slightly blander than I was expecting. Not unpleasant. Good mouth feel. Possibly chilled too harshly, hence the blandness of taste.

Sweet in the aftertaste. Similar to a slightly blander Badger pale ale such as Golden Glory.

Verdit. 7/10.

[suityou01]

Aldi's XB English Ale.

4.5%

Again, blander than I would have expected. Slightly smoky aftertaste which is intriguing. Nut brown ale.

Batemans Spring Harvest.

£1.39

Don't really care how strong now.

Marked difference. Bundles of malty flavour. Not in the least bland. Marked contrast.

Aldi IPA 5%

Much less bland. The best of the £1.19 ers. Would buy this again.

A Malty, bodied IPA, with good hop balance.
