I didn't drink it with all of the attention I might otherwise - this July 4th was one of the best in recent memory regarding the weather here in NJ. Mid 70's, gentle breeze and very low humidity. The neighbors had a small fire-pit going, and the surrounding town's fireworks could be seen, heard and smelt from my spot. So, I didn't really get to smell or look @ my Riggwelter - all things considered, but I found it to be a pleasant beer with an interesting flavor, one that I'd have again, even on the 4th of July! I think I would give it a 3. <abbr><em>Scott-TheBrewClub’s last blog post..<a href="http://thebrewclub.com/2009/07/03/liberty-ale-by-anchor-brewing/" rel="nofollow">Liberty Ale by Anchor Brewing</a></abbr></em> Just had my bottle of Riggwelter on July 4th of all days!

I'm a big fan of the Theakston mild which I had at the last GBBF--I found something similar at the Shambles in Whitby. It was made by Theakston as well but was served from a keg on nitro, "super chilled"-- after it warmed up it was quite good, but I still don't know what to make of it. I kind of feel like I dreamed it or something! <abbr><em>Ally’s last blog post..<a href="http://impymalting.wordpress.com/2009/04/28/black-lipstick-on-a-pint-glass/" rel="nofollow">Black lipstick on a pint glass</a></abbr></em> I love both Riggwelter and Old Peculiar– the best pint of that being from an old pub in Aberdeen.

These are good products but they certainly don't stand out. <abbr><em>Michael Reinhardt’s last blog post..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ThankHeavenForBeer/~3/9GeStGxrzso/" rel="nofollow">We came, we saw, we were conquered: Dark Lord Day Review</a></abbr></em> I’d have to give Old Peculiar a quarter star higher rating than Riggwelter, but your ratings are pretty agreeable otherwise.
