Shepherd Neame - Up And Under Ale 4.0%


Taste: I don't have exceedingly high hopes for this one. It seems that the Shepherd Neame master brewer's choice series are a series of watery ales brewed for honking in Lidl for a pound a bottle.... Familiar homebrewy smell, that is actually winning points here. Tastes like the metal cap. Not entirely unpleasant. But nothing to write home about.

Appearance: Sport based? Come on. Better Rugby than Football according to our stats. But they both rank quite low. Ale looks okay.

Would you buy 2? No! Now the taste of cigarette has hit me.

Would you buy 4? Unlikely.

Rating (out of 7): 2**

Breconshire Brewery - 6 (4.4%)


Taste: smells like pickling vinegar. A bit sharp.... Is it off??? Wet cold slate. A touch bland for a Sunday. Pretty smooth though, it'll sort out my heartburn.

Appearance: pleasing. A historic brown. The best thing about the ale, some say.

Would you buy 2? No. Hahaha

Would you buy 4? By mistake. An accident i'd regret.

Rating (out of 7): 3*** better than that one yesterday.
