Celt - Native Storm 4.4%

Taste: I always get tempted by Celt - it must be the labels - and then the ale is, well, underwhelming. Same story here I'm afraid. Carbon hops and a gassy taste. A metallic flavour that dries out the mouth. It's fine, but that's it.

Appearance: Disco brown

Would you buy 2? Two would not be the end of the world.

Would you buy 4? No.

Rating (out of 7): 3 * * *. It's fine - but so many ales are.

Celt - Dark Age 4%

Taste: Smokey pencils. Smokey ham. Smokey coffee. Charcoal bitterness. Takes like the Dark Ages probably would have done. I would like to enjoy one of these whilst camping in a rain soaked fern forest, listening to the Wickerman soundtrack.

Appearance: A handsome dark colour with a brown cream foam. Old fashioned and pleasing to the eye.

Would you buy 2? For sure!

Would you buy 4? To be transported back to King Arthur's round table? I couldn't refuse!

Rating (out of 7): 5 * * * * * . It slips done easily, but tastes interesting! Time travel ale!
