Ice cream - Helmsley

I've found a great place to get ice cream in Helmsley.
It's called Ryebrun tea rooms (at least I think that's what it's called) .
They have a fantastic collection of homemade flavours.
When I was in they had a few sorbets and more ice cream flavours than I can remember from vanilla and  chocolate fudge to whisky and even a bubble gum one. Plus several different choices of cones.

The place is on the same road as the car park entrance so please go in and have a taste :-p

Pale ale Bure gold - Woodfordes



















      Drink name               Drink makers                       Drink type                 Drink strength
      Bure Gold                 Woodforde's                         Ale                             4.3%

If I could give this ale a higher rating I would. The first time I tried this was in Great Yarmouth and I was instantly impressed.
It's a pale aromatic beer, which is a taste I like but only when the balance is just so. Often people get the mix wrong, in my opinion, and you end up with something that just isn't right (or maybe it's just because I'm more of a stout lover usually.... mmmm  malty).
It has a slight cloudiness to it due to the old fashioned way it is made apparently and I gotta say the taste is one I have liked so much, I went to their brewery on the way home. Well, I was in the Norfolk area anyway.
It's got hops from Washington in the USA but the malts used are home grown in Norfolk.








tasty rating
Good as a drink 10/10 Good as a beer 10/10
Can't put down factor 10/10
Good at getting you drunk 4/10
Label Art 8/10
Rated = 84ish out of 100% because I can't count and I don't understand percentages.
 Ah heck, as far as I really care it's as good as 100%! I just can't rate it like that.



Alcoholic lemonade and ginaer beer - Hooper's










I had to try these after trying the Dandelion & Burdock that Hooper's do but I have to say that although they are nice, they are nothing special.
They have an after taste a little like vodka. Now by that I mean that they have an alcohol taste to them no well masked by their actual taste, they don't actually taste of vodka.

On the hole they are nice drinks but not as good as the D&B they do.
