with identical scores are listed together, without any significance to their
internal order.
Beer | Brewery | ABV (%) | Comments | Score:/10 |
---|
Grand Union Gold | Grand Union | 4.20 | Smoother, less bitter than the Union Bitter and decent aroma. Light, hollow aftertaste. | 6.5 |
Medium Dry | Winkleigh | 6.00 | Similar to the Winkleigh sweet, but more solid, and flavoursome. Goes well with fish & chips! | 6.5 |
Old Slug | RCH Brewery | 4.50 | Coffee and chocolate focused porter. Notes of blackcurrant and black cherry. | 6.5 |
Scrum Down! | Twickenham Fine Ales | 3.90 | Smooth bitter with crisp malty top. Dual malts may deter some. | 6.5 |
Red Ember | H Prick Brewery | 4.60 | Slight red bitterness on side on mouth, although not a particularly great ruby, but it is pleasant in colour. Taste doesn't hold. No aftertaste or bite. | 6.5 |
Floris Passion | Floris | 3.00 | Grassy bouquet, very gueze-like, nice, although not much detectable passion fruit. | 6.5 |
Kulmbacher Eisbock | Kulmbacher | 9.20 | Thick souty or medium mild. No co2. Element of syrup in flavour (maple?), texture and mouthfeel. Atypically German. | 6.5 |
Brand Urtyp | Brand | 5.50 | Original recipe pils with mild hop, which strengthen on aftertaste. More watery than standard | 6.5 |
Goldenberg | Gayant Brewers | 5.90 | Everyday blonde. Nothing overly prominent (such as hop or malt). | 6.5 |
Hel;lekapelle | De Bie | 5.00 | Golden blond, very light taste, with extra kick in aftertaste. | 6.5 |
Gravensteen | Van Steenberge | 9.00 | Nice double malt, smooth without a too bitter a/t. Would be a pleasant session ale - but not at this strength. Quite fizzy, especially on initial tasting | 6.5 |
La Jean de Nivelles | Friart (La Roeuk) | 7.00 | Fruity dark beer, slightly caramel sides. | 6.5 |
1503 | Kingstone Brewery | 4.80 | Full foam head, ruby red colour, multiple malts make it confusing. Too fizzy to taste much on tongue, so let it hit the throat and rely on aroma. | 6.5 |
Henry's Heady Daze | Clarks | 3.60 | Light golden, strong hops. Easy session. Nothing special. | 6.5 |
LOA | Søgaards Bryghus | 5.30 | Subtle citrus aroma, browney red color. Hints of golden syrup with nut but not sweet. Would be good with sweet and sour style Thai or Chinese dishes | 6.5 |
Klosterbryg | Søgaards Bryghus | 5.50 | Cloudy golden colour with fresh orange smell. Wheat beer with extra bitterness | 6.5 |
Classic | Svaneke Bryghuset | 4.60 | Golden brown colour with good head. Smell of grain. Taste of grain - with a lingering after taste, easy drinker. Better with food than alone. | 6.5 |
Syd-Øst for Paradise | Svaneke Bryghuset | 3.50 | Floral aroma over a pale golden colour. Slight head and moderate fizz. Distinct elderflower flavour with a mild hop bitterness. Light and refreshing. | 6.5 |
Stout | Svaneke Bryghuset | 5.70 | Jet black beer with no head. Subtle grain aroma. Taste of Hovis granary wholemeal bread (the raisin bit) slight bitter after taste | 6.5 |
Brown Ale | ØRBÆK | 5.80 | Deep ruby colour with slight foam head. Undiscernable aroma. Vibrant mouth feel, bitterness starts small but grows. Rubiness on after taste. Highly quaffable. | 6.5 |
Kamenitza Dark | Kamenitza | 5.00 | Not bad, but a token effort to produce a non-pils. Doesn't make it. Drinkable. | 6.5 |
Bohemia Regent | Prezident | 6.00 | Dark Czech beer, but disappointing since expectant. Nothing to comment, but have after their blond version since the fizz of the former benefits this | 6.5 |
Bohmeia Regent | Prezident | 4.40 | Very light, thin, almost cider silk, with some bitterness | 6.5 |
Black Buffle | St Austell | 4.50 | A mild, but with fizz. Satiates too quickly, but otherwise pleasant. | 6.5 |
Huna Red | Sunny Republic | 4.00 | Not red, but good biscuit, but too much potential lost with the citrus hop. | 6.5 |
Okocim Porter | Okocim (Carlseberg) | 8.30 | A touch of sweetness, and strong coffee bitterness throughout. Not strongly balanced, as hop is lost, and bitterness takes oer | 6.5 |
Okocim Porter | Okocim (Carlseberg) | 8.30 | A touch of sweetness, and strong coffee bitterness throughout. Not strongly balanced, as hop is lost, and bitterness takes oer | 6.5 |
Red Barn | Tirrel | 4.40 | Ruby red ale, with rounder light malt and off hop, which culminates in a strong hop finish. | 6.5 |
Small Copper | Wentworth | 4.10 | Striking cross between a golden and copper-coloured bitter . Various sour notes. Shows potential | 6.5 |
Smokestack Lightnin' | Dorking | 4.00 | Quite fizzy, but rounded and wort-like but without sweetness. Claims smoke, but not rauchen. | 6.5 |
Noire de Slack | Christophe Noyon | 5.40 | A brune that's strong on coffee, and a touch sweeter than espresso. Better once rested for 10 minutes, although it's more bland. | 6.5 |
Raven Dark | The Raven of Bath | 4.20 | Dark w/chesnut red tinge. Thin, but washing up liquid in essence. Feels like a missed opportunity. | 6.5 |
Punter | Upham | 4.00 | Amber with a homebrewed wort syrup taste. Toasted grain doesn't come through properly. | 6.5 |
Moongazing | Tring | 4.20 | An entry-level ruby with rounded bitterness and hop touches from Chinook and Citra. Good colour. Ok taste. | 6.5 |
Grapefruit IPA | Tailgate | 6.20 | Very fruity, but light on beery. | 6.5 |
